Sources are routine news coverage in the local news - articles are mostly about the organizations involved rather than about the subject of this biography. The "40 under 40" award is just a local event (doesn't meet the "well-known and significant award or honor" criteria at WP:BIO). There simply isn't any significant coverage in independent sources. The article was created by User:Acumen.pr (an obvious username connection to Marcotte's business) and all other content contributors to the article are single-purpose accounts indicating WP:COI or autobiography.

Delete As per nom. I had been thinking about putting the AfD myself and just waiting to see if anyone jumped up to improve it first. Article seems to mostly fall under WP:PEACOCK Simonm223 (talk) 23:12, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete My BEFORE on Google News, Google Books, JSTOR, and newspapers.com fails to find anything not already in the article, which is not enough. A local "40 Under 40" award is insufficient as a significant honor per nom. A REDIRECT to Acumen Digital is ill advised as the namespace "Michael Marcotte" should be used to redirect to Michael J. Marcotte instead, who has inherent notability under WP:NPOL. Chetsford (talk) 15:52, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - obvious PEACOCK and likely COI. Newimpartial (talk) 16:33, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just went through the edit history and you're probably right - most of the edits on the page come from the same sockfarm and include such situations as the time they put a legal threat on the page while edit-warring. Simonm223 (talk) 16:47, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and above. Promotional bio of an as yet non notable subject. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:35, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
