Delete Fails a basic google, google-news, and google-books test (both in amount of hits, and given the small amount - quality). Considering the subject's time period and web design activity - there should be ample on-line sources for him if he were notable.Icewhiz (talk) 11:43, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- the sources are lacking, and the profiles included in the article are interviews, and aren't independent. The entities that the subject is associated with are all non-notable, with one (Underwired) having been deleted as unambiguous advertising. The copy is highly promotional, as in: "... was the world's most awarded digital agency in 1999" (according to whom?) Etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:40, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• A broad range of independent industry press references dating back to 1995 or 1996 exist with the surname misspelt either Verlade or Verlarde. I haven't had time to convert the URLs from Google but a simple search using the misspellings shows a range of articles. I will convert these and post these within the next 48 hours. 2A02:C7F:8209:F000:30D7:C237:9752:ED1 (talk) 07:34, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
