This is a thinly-veiled promotional article of a non-notable person ElKevbo (talk) 19:15, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- This is not a "thinly-veiled promotional article". Where is the promotion? There is not one external link to my site or any online property that I own. The links are all to third parties which are not controlled by me. Also you mentioned that I was "non-notable person". What's the definition? Wikipedia is filled with "non notable" people and you don't need to be a famous musicians or movie star to have a wikipedia page.It meets every criteria for WP:GACR KEEP this page.- Jimmy Smith
- Delete - there do not appear to be independent reliable sources that discuss this gentleman in such a way as to establish his notability under any guideline. The sources on the article range from interviews on self-published blogs (not reliable) to quotes from the subject on TV shows like Mike and Molly (not substantively about the person). Not notable as an author or fitness professional. See WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR and WP:ATHLETE as examples of relevant guidelines. The presence of other possibly non-notable people is irrelevant per WP:OTHERSTUFF. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Delete Almost all of the references are either press releases from the subject or blog entries, some of them writte by the subject himself, or passing mentions that don't have any substance. Agree with the post above that the subject doesn't meet the requirements of GNG, Author or Athlete for notability. Banks Irk (talk) 22:31, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
