As written, article fails WP:GNG of WP:Notability. Sources are all WP:Primary and it is written like an advertisement. At the same time, there are no press coverage, beyond brief passing mentions or quoting him in his brief appearances on morning television programs, that exist to meet significant coverage requirements (WP:SIGCOV). As well, I noted remarks in edit history by astute editor User:Ronz who pointed out likely conflict of interest due to edits by User:Moolala and User:Moolala2012 that appear to be sockpuppets.

Comment Jen30386 (talk · contribs) and Virtualb (talk · contribs) are SPA accounts. Jen30386 wrote the bulk of the article, as well as the bulk of Moolala. --Ronz (talk) 22:34, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I removed this ref because it didn't verify the content and doesn't say anything about Sellery as an individual: Waldie, Paul (December 19, 2014). "Couple spread the love for open adoptions" – via The Globe and Mail. --Ronz (talk) 22:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ronz, Thank you! Yes, I wish more Wikipedia editors would realize that sources have to give more than just a mention of the named company's or individual's name. ;) Doug Mehus (talk) 22:43, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ronz, Regarding Jen30386, I noticed on her talk page, Ttonyb1 previously tagged Moolala for speedy deletion. Doug Mehus (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

keep article about well-known journalist, popular author needs improvement, not deletion. There are sources, such as How TV host, speaker and author Bruce Sellery invests his money [1].Strandvue (talk) 18:43, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's a promotional piece, and an interview. It does not meet WP:BIO criteria. --Ronz (talk) 19:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
