Non-notable individual. This article has been deleted via CSD a number of times in the past, the only difference with this copy is his inclusion in Forbes. Unfortunately the Forbes article is only a brief discussion of the article subject. Article appears to fail WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 02:42, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there may be notability there, but it's hard to tell because of all the promotion. This is an encyclopedia, not a free web hosting service. I'd put this down as violating WP:ADV or WP:COI or WP:NPV or I'd even allow "ignore the rules" and get rid of this. If someone would re-write it like an actual encyclopedic entry then I'd reconsider it, but for now there are so many things wrong with it that it would be better for Wikipedia to delete it. I'd support the Speedy also, as it has been tagged for that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And I have removed the speedy tag. Due to the Forbes reference, that is possibly a significant new development since the last discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Gatena (3rd nomination) result was delete for failure to meet WP:BIO. That failure is not so clear now, therefore G4 does not apply anymore. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm good either way.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:48, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if the article is not written properly, that doesn't mean it should be deleted... that means it should be adjusted accordingly. 99Legend (talk) 19:52, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep So how do all of the new sources... including Forbes... not qualify this article as legitimate? There is a large variety of sources from many different kinds of outlets over a decade.--99Legend (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
