A majority of the sources are affiliated with Hurst (such as CreativeGood or Gel). A random spot check reveals the independent sources such as BusinessInsider and American Libraries briefly mention him, once, not satisfying in-depth coverage. There are also many unreliable citations to blogs, and the article seems promotional.

Furthermore, the article currently has enough unimportant detail that WP:BLOWITUP applies. Bremps... 23:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

• Delete No indication of notability. Fails to meet criteria of WP:GNG. Not enough sources to confirm intrinsic value of an article. What makes this person outstanding and deserving a Wikipedia article?

• Delete Mark Hurst is an obscure consultant who hosts a programme on a New Jersey-based radio station. He appears to be non-notable. The article brings out that various notable people have made presentations at one or another annual Gel conference, and Mark Hurst founded Gel. But that does not make Mark Hurst notable. -- Toddy1 (talk) 21:22, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
• Delete: Without seemingly any WP:SIGCOV, this subject currently fails all notability guidelines. If reliable independent sources can be found, I'd be happy to reconsider my vote. User:Let'srun 03:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
