promotional article about -- not an entrepreneur -- but a borderline-notable advisor to an entrepreneur. Most of the books upon which notability are based are essentially self-published; the only one with any substantial library holdings is 1 to 1 fieldbook, which he only coauthored. I consider it impossible to do a proper rewrite by normal editing. especially with such borderline notability. DGG ( talk ) 07:24, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is spam. It was put on Wikipedia by Morning277 editor Mikagrlo (talk · contribs), edited from Amazon AWS/EC2 address 54.251.21.249 which has been blocked due to abuse by Morning277, and I suspect that 58.97.173.237 (talk · contribs) and Arojit (talk · contribs) are also working with the Morning277 editors. If this is kept, it's likely to be maintained by the hired writers and remain purely promotional. I had intended to ask for G5 deletion once it was no longer ~~needed~~ useful as evidence in the Morning277 SPI. —rybec 17:18, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Bob Dorf is an "advisor" to what may be notable subjects, but I see no convincing argument on the article for his own notability. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
