Promotional article on a salesman and "corporate gifting" consultant. No sign that WP:GNG is met based on the references; his book Giftology doesn't seem enough to meet WP:NAUTHOR either. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:29, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LEAN KEEP - Updated ref to include papers, incl brief NYT reference, and book details. WP:GNG barely, I'd say 82.117.94.96 (talk) 18:39, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - Updated several links, appears to be recent news. WP:GNG yes. 82.117.94.96 (talk) 18:39, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Ruhlin is a CEO and verified author. Content is neutral and sources are reliable. WP:GNG yes. Suntancity78 (talk) 19:51, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO nor WP:NAUTHOR. Promo 'cruft. Being a a CEO and verified author is an insufficient claim of significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:36, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Canton rep source is the best that exists for this subject and that is a fairly weak source anyway and alone isn't enough to pass WP:GNG. While also factoring in that this is a BLP, the reasonable course of action is deletion. W 42 13:34, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP - I have added multiple reputable sources to the page and significant content to show that Ruhlin is enough to meet WP:ANYBIO. He has demonstrated significant contribution to strategies in business. With sources added it is enough to pass WP:GNG. Suntancity78 (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
MILD KEEP - I like what Mr. Suntancity added. Not much, but meet WP:GNG. 82.117.88.217 (talk) 13:45, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the first and third "keep" votes were made by the same IP. The eighth "keep" vote was almost definitely made by the same person or a friend of the IP who made the first and third "keep" votes, just under a slightly different IP address. The fourth and seventh "keep" votes were both made by the same registered user (who created the page). Just thought I would point that out. :)--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 16:05, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
