[edit]I wish you had waited before creating a draft for some guidance. I deleted your article because
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. (It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the him or his company, social media, Wikipedia and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the he claims or interviewing its management.
- you gave some references, but they were not independent references as defined above. One is an interview with him such saying how wonderful he is, the Big Speak site is a n agency for speakers with the text presumably written by him, and the Celebrity Worth site appears to be a gossip page with no indication of how it arrives at its figures, which appear to be entirely unsourced guesswork. You need reputable sites with claims that can be checked, such as national newspapers
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or inadequately sourced claims presented as fact include: entrepreneur... well- known... recognized as one of America’s leading authorities and speakers on the development of human potential and personal effectiveness.
- I note that you have edited no other articles, and have gone straight into this much-deleted biography. If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for him or his the company, or otherwise are acting on his or its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the person or company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Chelski44. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Chelski44|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
