Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a journalist and unelected political candidate, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing our notability criteria for journalists or political candidates. The principal notability claim as a journalist is that his work exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself in the absence of third-party analysis about him and his journalism, and candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se -- but this is not referenced to any WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him, but to a mixture of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all with glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in articles about subjects other than himself.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of, rather than a speaker in, his sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 21:46, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to 2022 Toronto mayoral election where the subject is mentioned. If the subject is elected, no prejudice against recreation. --Enos733 (talk) 22:05, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If this article wasn't 6 months old I would of tagged it for WP:G11. Even if this person was notable the article as is needs to be fundamentally rewritten to be suitable. Jumpytoo Talk 22:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete promotional tone, "prominent financial analyst" is nothing but puffery. Sources are passing mentions/refs that aren't about him but mention him as part of xyz project. I've not heard of this fellow, I have strong doubts he'll win the election, so we likely won't need to re-create the article, but anything is possible I suppose.

Delete, doesn't meet standards of notability, consists of self-advertisement. He seems very invested in his Wikipedia presence, so there's a strong likelihood he wrote this himself Chuborno (talk) 02:14, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, The article very much comes across as self-advertisement. Does being #23 on a Forbes blogs top 40 finance influencers mean you get a wikipedia page? I just don't see him being notable enough to warrant an article.184.147.107.78 (talk) 08:11, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
