Bio of a "social media strategist" with no claim to notability. As I stated in my PROD rationale, it is a case of WP:ADMASQ. The PROD template was removed with the comment "Notable weblinks are given. Acfepted and reviewd by an admin." There's been no review however, and as for "notable weblinks" it's anybody's guess what that might mean. There is no coverage of him in any independent, reliable and secondary source. bonadea contributions talk 14:04, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

• Delete this isn't your linkedin. No sources found, all I see are a few articles he's written. Oaktree b (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
• Delete as just a promotional profile.
• Delete as it does not meet the guidelines of a suitable page that should exist on Wikipedia. The article is fully promotional and it shows no importance at all. Sources are unreliable. Timothytyy (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
