Fails WP:ANYBIO and seems to be made by a user with a linear interest in this person. AmericanAir88^(talk) 22:11, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NCREATIVE. The fact that the text has been created by an editor with few other interests in Wikipedia beyond this article piles on the guilt. -The Gnome (talk) 08:41, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cleaned out the promotional language and over-citing, and what's left is a few higher-level marketing jobs at large companies sourced to press releases or lightly-edited reprints of press releases. Whoever created the article clearly had access to a lot of personal information and built the article from that. An obvious attempt at (self-)promotion, so could be deleted under policy as unambiguous WP:PROMO, but in guideline terms the subject also fails to meet WP:GNG, as coverage is either not significant nor not independent (e.g. the Hollywood Reporter "coverage" is part of a press release, and THR is his former employer).
