Keep. I don't think NOTRESUME applies, since the creator isn't an SPA and doesn't have an obvious paid connection to the subject (if there is, please place your cards face up on the table). I see plenty of substantial sources in the article already - Chicago Tribune (albeit an interview), a big chunk of text and a picture in a Forbes article about him talking of his company's market share, another Tribune article, economic analysis from him in Bloomberg, and a deleted interview on MSNBC. The coverage calls him "critical" and "controversial" so it's not a hagiography or unduly in his favor - it passes WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. The article needs work, but AfD is not for clean-up. I am the first to complain about self-promoting web-hosting. Bearian (talk) 22:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per Bearian, in addition, as per concerns about lack of in-depth coverage: WGN is a major media company, covering in-depth [Citation 8]. Washington Post covered his political controversies in-depth [Citation 23]. Chicago Tribune covered his business dealings in-depth [Citation 6]. After more research, I've added [Citation 24] in which PBS covers him in-depth. I also swapped a Crunchbase profile reference with an in-depth article from Crain's Chicago Business at [Citation 5]. Citations 2 and 25 are also in-depth. Isingness (talk) 21:07, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
