WP:PROD removed without explanation, so over here to do this the long way. Obvious vanity page, which appears to be sourced entirely to fake news websites and reprinted press releases. Although the SPA that removed the prod notice claims that reliable sources exist I can find no evidence of them. While I can't say for sure and WP:AGF and all that, this looks like an absolutely straightforward case of undeclared paid editing using reprinted press releases on assorted churnalism sites to manufacture pseudonotability. ‑ Iridescent 17:13, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

- Speedy Delete - I couldn't even find a mention in a Proquest of many Canadian sources. Possible scam? Nfitz (talk) 03:47, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. No WP:SIGCOV on the 22-year old subject by any proper RS. There are bits from low-grade online blogs like London Daily Post [1] (not an RS), but little else. Seems like Wikipedia is part of his promotional platform, and an important plank in establishing his notability – it should be the other way around. Britishfinance (talk) 14:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
