Fails WP:BIO. Lacks sufficient independent sourcing, and subject seems mainly known for appearing on an Australian TV show. Coretheapple (talk) 16:25, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • He's one of the Sharks on Australian Shark Tank. Being a t.v. star along with his business deals make the grade for me. Keep FloridaArmy (talk) 22:41, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - perhaps it is the gig on Shark Tank that gains him the coverage, but the coverage exist and is easy enough to find. Examples include [1], [2]. -- Whpq (talk) 20:02, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete -- insufficient coverage for a BLP. Being on Shark Tank is not enough for notability, and there's nothing better. A promotional CV at this point. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:14, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Article has been greatly improved and expanded, and the number of citations has more than doubled, since this AfD was posted. There is clearly adequate significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to more than pass WP:GNG and WP:BIO. SunChaser (talk) 09:17, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets GNG. We are to attempt to find sources not comment on the state of the article. See WP:BEFORE, sections C and D. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He's been a "Shark" on Shark Tank since it debuted, appearing on all 3 seasons. He's received a lot of press coverage about his investments, entrepreneurship, etc. You state that he is "mainly known for appearing on an Australian TV show"; I don't see the problem with that as it's run for 3 series and is fairly well known, please elaborate. He's a judge/Shark on the series, not a one-time contestant or something. Melonkelon (talk) 21:39, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
