The subject of this article may not meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. As would be expected for an online marketer, there is quite a lot of mention of him in blogs and the like (including a fair share of negative press that appears underrepresented in the initial version of the article), but I did not see any coverage in what I would consider reliable secondary sources.

Delete per above. Lacks credible references. I also question why an online "marketing expert" would have an article on Wikipedia. Considering the increased risk of spam, perhaps notability criteria for marketers and their agencies should be more stringent. LordVetinari (talk) 11:55, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No, "marketing experts" need to have some kind of significance in history, culture, or technological development before they merit Wikipedia articles. No such showing is made for this person. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete farcical claim of notability. The only claim of notability is that this person is internationally recognised. The reference appears to be his Facebook page. Speedily delete this vanity. MLA (talk) 16:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete one editor, non-notable vanity page. Free advertisement.--Hokeman (talk) 19:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
