Could not find any sources in either print or online, beyond his own Forbes contributions (which are conveniently listed at the bottom of the article). So in summary: all facts stated in the biography are sourced from text this person wrote himself. Could not find even very minor mentions of Brandt elsewhere. He is therefore not notable per Wikipedia guidelines and this article should be uncontroversially deleted. PK650 (talk) 01:52, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

• Delete. Some mentions in passing, but overall, seems to fail WP:NBIO and this entry is also written partly, at least, as an ad. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:09, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

• Keep. Significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject (not including any apparent self-authored or sponsored content). Appears to easily meet WP:NBIO "Basic Criteria" requirements.

1. "AP revisits owners from recession years". Assocated Press.
2. "Bitter Presidential Race Breeds Workplace Tensions". Wall Street Journal.
3. "The Kavanaugh Effect". Wall Street Journal.
4. "Banks accused of Short Sale Fraud". CNBC.
5. "Subprime Loans". National Public Radio.
6. "Larry King Live (owners youtube)". CNN.
7. "News In Japanese (owners youtube)". Tokyo TV.
8. "Cover Story". REI Ink Magazine.
9. "Strategic Defaults" (owners youtube)". FOX News.

Comment @Ljswiki: First of all, please remember to sign your name with four tildes. You appear to have an interest in trying to promote the article subject. Tell us why this is an encyclopedic article rather than another one of those annoying ads that makes encyclopedia readers want to hit the X button on their browsers. How has this person actually contributed to the field, and why is he of encyclopedic rather than promotional interest? Passing mentions in better-known news outlets don't count, and definitely not YouTube videos. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 17:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE and is borderline blatant advertising. Passing mention in news articles. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 17:21, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
