Apparent autobiography of a WP:MILL financial services professional. Nothing in the (blatantly self-promotional) text or the sources suggests notability per WP:GNG.

The most interesting aspect of his biography is conspicuously not mentioned in the article: In 2021, Meisterhans was charged by US federal prosecutors with financial crimes, which he denies. He was also convicted for financial crimes in Switzerland, and has appealed. He now works as a kiosk tenant in Switzerland. All this was covered in a recent article in the Swiss online paper Republik. But being an alleged criminal is the only remotely interesting thing about him, and in my view passes below the WP:ONEEVENT bar.

If people nonetheless consider him notable, the article would need to be entirely rewritten and would probably need to focus on his alleged criminal career, so WP:TNT would be an option. Sandstein 10:53, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not meant to be a platform for people to promote themselves and their career, it is meant to only have articles on people who can be established to be notable by secondary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Failed to find any reference in either Le Temps, the NZZ or Bilanz, which for a "figure" within the finance industry is quite surprising. Superboilles (talk) 22:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
