Created by a COI and likely UPE editor. Of the sources in the article, the first, from Variety, actually is likely a reasonable source, but one does not notability make. The second is from an employer, so not independent. The third just briefly quotes him, but has nothing in-depth. The fourth is from an employer, so not independent. The fifth is a press release. A search for additional sources finds some blogs and the like (as well as some sources which mention a "Tyrone Bland" who lives in Australia and is not related at all to this individual), but nothing more substantial with which to write a biography.

Delete per nomination, fails WP:BIO and GNG. I couldn't find SIGCOV in reliable sources either. He seems to have played college football for UC [1], but I can find nothing to suggest that he meets WP:ATHLETE either. Wikishovel (talk) 05:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Variety is fine, but there are no other sources. Gnews has PR pieces confirming the person was named to a board of directors, which is nothing notable. Oaktree b (talk) 13:10, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Variety is fine, but not in and of itself enough: being a government relations lobbyist for a talent agency is in no way an "inherently" notable role that would guarantee an instant free inclusion pass, so it takes a lot more than just one valid piece of reliable source coverage to get a person into Wikipedia for that — but all the rest of the footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability at all.
