Previously deleted, jack of all trades businessman. Lots of profiles, puff references, standard notices of start/leaving jobs and PR. Fails WP:BIO. scope_creep Talk 12:49, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

- Weak delete or possibly draftify. I disagree that these are all "puff" references - what seems to be more of an issue is that the article is significantly overstated from what the references actually say (for example, the WP article says "he oversaw Comcast's acquisition of AT&T's cable television systems," but the cited reference for that statement says nothing of the kind). I say weak delete because even a quick Google search shows that he does seem to be an expert that tech media interviews somewhat frequently, which makes me think he must have done something noteworthy to establish himself as an expert, but if he has, I certainly can't find it.

- Delete Tech experts in media are often just paid mouthpieces from xyz company, so a poor standard by which to measure reliability. I find not much for significant sources on this fellow, other then mentions in passing (as discussed above). Oaktree b ( talk) 01:47, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
