This was previously kept on procedural grounds as the nominator turned out to be a sockpuppet.

This article is an obvious autobiography. It has only two real editors, both of whom have no contributions to Wikipedia outside this topic. The article has superficial referenciness, but the sources are all churnalism - press releases masquerading as news (or in some cases not even masquerading, as PR Newswire is cited).

There are trivial mentions in some sources, but the primary claim to notability appears to be an award from Natural News, which is a bit like being given an Andrew Wakefield Prize for vaccine research.

I have looked for reliable independent sources that are about (rather than merely namechecking) the subject, but I drew a blank. Guy (Help!) 10:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Majority of the article is based upon WP:OR. The reliable secondary sources included in the article either barely mention him in passing, but more often doesn't mention him at all and merely used to fill in with side trivia. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 22:26, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A few of the references that I checked show either no mention of the subject of this article, or only an in-passing mention. An article on a person is not the place to add minor details about BōKU International—if the organization is notable, write an article about it where ref 25 could be considered (I looked at that and it shows a passing mention for the organization but none for the person, and the mention looks more like an ad).

Delete I couldn't find notable sources in a source check. Going through the sources provided in the article and searching for mentions of Rolle led to almost nothing - either passing mentions and in other cases hits on "Roller" with no mention at all.Icewhiz (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
