As noted by User:Gobonobo, who added an advert maintenance tag in 2020, the text of this article reads incredibly suspiciously like a paid advertisement. I completely concur. Additionally, the main contributor to the article, User:Metalduky54, was highly suspiciously inactive on Wikipedia aside from this article a few select others, which points to this article being an advertisement created by a paid editor. Google searches do not seem to indicate the subject of the article is notable. Based on all these factors, I believe the article should be deleted. CeltBrowne (talk) 19:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Did some digging and it looks to be an advertisement. ImperialMajority (talk) 20:14, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete as non-notable and promotional. I also see this article’s creator has been involved with Domenica Leibowitz which I think could be nominated for the same reasons. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 22:17, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Discounting the comment by the blocked sockpuppet, there should ideally be more input to establish a consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Aoidh (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2023 (UTC)- Delete Plenty of photo shoots he's done for GQ and Esquire, but nothing about the person. Appears promo. Oaktree b (talk) 02:54, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
