  • Delete. Article was created by a virtual WP:SPA named "Analyticalassociates", whose edit history includes a reference to "myself, David Tate" in an edit summary — which means it's an WP:AUTOBIO. Not that there was actually much doubt of that, because it contains a lot of completely unsourced biographical information, with its only footnote being a one-off glancing namecheck of his existence as a giver of soundbite in a magazine article that wasn't about him. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced a hell of a lot better than this, and people aren't entitled to put themselves into Wikipedia for the publicity.

  • Delete: No reliable sources, no evidence of notability. Fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 11:41, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
