• Strong delete as it's a straightforward promotional piece of text for a non-notable (per Wikipedia's criteria) person, sprinkled with the typical, busy, cyclical self-references, which is, moreover, written by the subject himself; or his sneaky socks, same difference. -The Gnome (talk) 18:15, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete a non-notable businessman. I am beginning to think we need to impose guidelines on business people. Two problems often exist. Name dropping in articles about their company without substantial statements about them is not enough. Also the principals of Corporation Depth of Coverage need to be applied in a concise way to business people. Too many people have taken GNG to illogical extremes.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:57, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No news coverage, don't see anything from an independent search for WP:GNG. Willie d troudour (talk) 22:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
