This article is about an author of an organisational process improvement model called "flawless execution". I can find press releases and mentions, but not substantial coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Whpq (talk) 15:20, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as advertising. Afterburner is known worldwide for its consulting work around its proprietary organizational development and continuous process improvement model called Flawless Execution. Carrite (talk) 18:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The two books clearly exist and there is a small biog on the HarperCollins website although it is arguable whether this is enough to establish notability. I've only found one minor review for one of the books but, on the other hand, I've seen worse cases which have been kept. The article could be stubified to get rid of the advertising material. If a decision is made to delete this one, I suggest we look at the companion article Flawless Execution which seems to have even less to recommend it.--Plad2 (talk) 22:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
