fails WP:BIO, with little or no third party coverage that I can find. Another of the hundred thousand authors who write inspirational little books about becoming confident/organisational structure/other bollocks. Ironholds (talk) 04:24, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is an expert on a significant business issue, and his books offer relevant advice to businesspeople, not "inspiration". See this Google News archive search for a number of references. -- Eastmain (talk) 05:11, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
" He is an expert on a significant business issue, and his books offer relevant advice to businesspeople" - wonderful guideline-based argument. Five brief mentions is not enough to pass WP:BIO; he's been consulted for soundbites, the articles aren't about him or covering him in any detail. Ironholds (talk) 05:22, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
