There does not appear to be significant independent coverage Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing:

Guardian article isn't significant coverage
Southern Illinoisian article is *about* a partnership that's not independent (he gave them the books about him to read), but the article itself is indepdent, reliable, and significant
The "Steer Your Business Magazine" article seems very likely non-independent
MoneyMarketing doesn't really cover *him*
BusinessInsider is mostly him saying "I got rich by saving", may or may not be significant coverage, definitely independent
OutsourcingAngel is non-reliable
HillSong is just an event invite + non-independent
His autobiography & other book are non-independent

I am also unable to find any other sources, other than what is already in the article, on a quick look. His claims to fame seem to be (a) being a millionaire who was once homeless and (b) owning Genistar. But the S.Ill. + Bus.Insider don't really make enough coverage for (a), and (b) would be better in its own article. Therefore, Delete, lacking any sources.

Delete per thebiguglyalien's comments. Fails WP: General notability guidelines and there's no significant coverage on this author since he wasn't involved in any major events. Galaxybeing (talk) 12:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
