Delete. Non-notable person who does not meet WP:BIO. His eponymous firm (GMR Marketing may be notable, but he is not. The page is slick, as would befit a page written by a marketing company; judged on its merits, though, I do not believe it meets guidelines. Baron Larf 07:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, weakly. In my view, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Forbes Magazine profiles get him over the line of significant coverage in multiple sources. Both articles focus on Reynolds to a greater extent than his companies. My brief scan suggests there are other sources, although the focus of those sources is more on the company than Reynolds. But I think this only just scrapes over the notability line and am willing to be convinced otherwise. The article does have a very PR feel about it. --Mkativerata (talk) 17:36, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Forbes and MJS profiles probably satisfy WP:BIO, per User:Mkativerata. But the nominator is correct regarding the seemingly lack of neutrality of the article. --Pink Bull 01:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
