Questionably notable and improvable as the best search links I found were this, this and this. This has not changed much since starting in April 2013 so comments about this would be helpful. Pinging DGG (I don't suppose you could comment at some of the AfDs I've listed at your talk page?) and Rich Farmbrough and I would've also included User:Blanchardb but they are not noticeably active.

Delete. very minor notability at best, and considerable promotionalism . One book by Wiley *for which he was one of 3 authors) , an established publisher--other claimed books are totally insignificant. The sort of media experiences he made are wholly trivial. The section on quotes is pure promotionalism way out of proportion with the subject's importance. SwisterTwister, I'm still trying to clear up the backlog from Washington.

Pearson are an established general publisher, one of the largest. FranklinCovey are a niche management/leadership publisher, whose flagship product is "7 Habits". Nonetheless we need significant RS about him, preferably, or at a pinch his books. (If his books do not meet GNG individually, but do collectively that would satisfy me.) This might lead to some of his other activities, though it probably does not count as independent itself. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Regardless of publisher, the key thing is that none of the books has over 50 library holdings. in Worldcat,and in the field of popular self-help business books, that is about as insignificant as you can get. And the only one with more than 20 holdings is the one by Wiley. That's not a formal criterion, but when its as clear as this it's a very useful guide.

Agreed, so far failure to meet GNG. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:34, 17 October 2015 (UTC).[reply]
