Created by a sock; no claim of notability and article is extremely promotional. I see one good reference; a NYTimes article from 2004 [1] that seems suspiciously like a puff piece. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:59, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I searched on google news and it is returning just enough for WP:BASIC. Szzuk (talk) 17:30, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: In its current form, is not the responsibility of a sock but a partially-declared PAID editor, and there are multiple claims of potential notability within the article. There is, however, nothing for which evidence, including the NYT story, appears to reach GNG or WP:NCORP (Liontex, Tek, Menus-to-go, real estate development, dealing with Crohn's, getleverage, speaking, consulting, PapierTile, ...). Nor am I seeing any RS reviews for his works online apart from maybe this (which is a bit problematic as the reviewer is identified as a journalism student), so NBOOK/NAUTHOR isn't satisfied. Nor do I believe that the aggregate reaches an NPOINTS keep (including the use of his picture on the cover of Evil Empire). Plus, in the article's (post-2017) form, its sourcing is overwhelmingly PRIMARY, and its content promotional. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 09:53, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on account of subject lacking encyclopaedic value and failing WP:NPERSON. The article has been created by a sockpuppet and cultivated by a professional promoter. Let's hope that, at least, the check clears. -The Gnome (talk) 21:43, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
