No evidence of any notability. All refs are either own web-sites, amazon sales or regurgitated press releases. Nothing independent. Highly promotional. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - needs the promotional material removed, but otherwise he actually passes GNG, which I find a bit surprising for a professional public speaker. Go figure. [1] [2] [3]. Although not all the coverage is glowing: [4], [5]. Yvarta (talk) 23:43, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Every one of those positive reviews appear to be a regurgitated press releases. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 22:26, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, all the sources are thinly disguised advertorials, interviews with the subject or press releases. Even the negative stuff isn't indicating notability. Nthep (talk) 20:39, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per User:Nthep. The sourcing is essentially either the subject himself or warmed-over press releases, and the actual content is essentially an advert. --Calton | Talk 00:47, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The sources provided don't seem to meet the standards for substantiating a notability claim. The National is based out of the United Arab Emirates and is government owned/ controlled (i.e., not reliable). None of the self-authored pieces will do the trick, nor will the reference to "Speaking.com" or "sharjahcityguide.com." KDS4444 (talk) 02:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
