I cannot find any evidence he's notable for his marketing/comms work, nor as an author. There are event listings for author talks/signings, but the only in depth pieces I've found are interviews/blurbs so they don't work. Mollifiednow did some updating and source hunting late last year but was similarly unable to take this article further. StarM 01:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

• Delete - how surprising. A public relations guru has an entirely undue article on Wikipedia. Fails WP:ANYBIO. 174.254.192.137 (talk) 01:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
• Delete He's written some articles for magazines and self-published a book. Not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 15:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
• Delete a non-notable person in the advertising industry.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:25, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
• Keep - A Google search turned up reliable sources, which I have added to the article. A search also found that the subject has written three books, two of which were released by traditional publishing houses, he won a state award, and he contributed to a fourth book, a collection of short stories co-written with authors in the US and UK. The subject and his books have been featured in multiple articles, including in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and he regularly appears on Nevada public radio. I cleaned up the article, removed puffery, and added content with reliable sources to show notability. Clearly passes WP:GNG and meets WP:BIO. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 09:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
