Résumé-like WP:BLP of a person with no strong or reliably sourced notability claim. The stated notability claim is that he once gave a TEDx talk, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself -- and other than that, the article is just an advertorialized résumé of every individual thing he's done in his career, referenced entirely to directory entries and staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own past or present employers rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage about him or his work in real media to establish that it's been externally validated as significant. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to clear WP:GNG on media coverage about him in sources independent of himself. Bearcat (talk) 05:26, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

• Delete. I was unable to locate any independent reliable sources with significant coverage. Fails WP:NACADEMIC, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 18:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete & Salt - No evidence of WP:SIGCOV can be found. The article reads like a resume. Gentleman wiki (talk) 19:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. No sources that can be found anywhere else, and absolutely nothing in the article whatsoever that demonstrates any sort of notability. jp×g 01:03, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
