Promotional article on an entrepreneur who fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO, article is currently sourced to primary sources, unreliable sources and one dead link. A search brought up a couple of passing mentions and one interview which is here, but nothing that would cause him to pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

- Leaning Delete Venture Beat (generally reliable per WP:RSPSOURCES) - [1], Forbes - [2], TheBusinessDesk (reliable?) - [3], Yorkshire Post - [4]. WP:SIGCOV is an issue though, if you exclude all the direct quotations from the sources. I'll reconsider my !vote after other comments. - hako9 (talk) 14:15, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep notable entrepreneur. A before search shows media coverage of the subject and if more thorough search was conducted it will yield more positive result. I will now add some few sources to save this article. Northern Escapee (talk) 7:36, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Of the sources you added that are actually worth considering, one of them is a Forbes piece with no author byline that is very clearly a promotional puff piece, and the other is a passing mention. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:40, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:HEY. There's at least one additional very reliable source that was added. Bearian (talk) 23:56, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
