Non-notable businessman, with no significant coverage in WP:RS. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only more of what's cited here: primary sources, press releases and sponsored content. Tone, unsourced content and creator's user page suggest conflict of interest or undisclosed paid editing. Wikishovel (talk) 08:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – fails notability guidelines. Sources on Google that is at least reliable only shows subject being appointed as CEO without any other indepth details. Checking the article's sources, most of them are unreliable or primary sources. Toadette ^{(Let's discuss together!)} 16:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Coverage I find is exclusively PR items. What's used in the article now is non-RS or so-so sources, per CiteHighlighter. The last one is the only "green" source and describes this person taking a trip (and was written by the subject here), hardly the stuff of notability in Wiki.

Delete sources too PR based and not in depth enough to establish notability. Editing84 (talk) 09:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Seems far too much like WP:PROMO to me InDimensional (talk) 14:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Sourcing consists of YouTube, LinkedIn, press releases, alumni interviews (not WP:INDEPENDENT). We have relatively articles in Fast Company and Entrepreneur magazine, two known sources, but they are self-published and thus cannot establish notability. TLA^tlak 01:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – most are just press release, for example businesswire here. Again, most sources are not from independent news outlet sources. Unless other sources exist. Until then, delete for now.-- Tumbuka Arch (talk) 08:51, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
