Fails WP:GNG. The subject of the article comes up a lot on the internet, but every link I've checked is either a primary, unreliable source, a link to a forum discussion, or a simple mention of Selin in context of him being the CEO of a gambling company. Also the article was written in a promotional tone with a lot of dubious claims and the author seems to edit only articles related to Bodog gambling company. The article also mentions his success in poker which is far beyond inducing enough notability on its own. Rymatz (talk) 22:44, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The article is very much in need of cleanup from trivia and promotional tone, but sources do indicate that he's at least something of a profile in his business. At least in Swedish-lanuage sources there are several non-trivial mentions of him, that turn up easily by oggling. The existing "va.se" reference is from Veckans Affärer, one of two major Swedish business weeklies, and is a combination of industry profile and interview with him. I added another reference to a business news site. Tomas e (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
