Topic fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Source 1 is a link to the subjects main website. Source 2 is unavailable. Source 3 is a link to the Corporations Division of Washington. Source 4 is a blog article written by the subject from the subject's own website. Source 5 is a link to the subject's biography. Source 6 is a small description in a slideshow of about a podcast he was involved in on CNN Money. It's not an article by any means. Source 7 is unavailable. Source 8 is unavailable. Source 9 is unavailable. Source 10, Merriman is quoted a couple times in a book on Google Scholar. The book itself is not notable. Source 11 is unavailable. Source 12 is a link to his biography on a company website he was involved with. In addition to the majority of this article being unsourced, there are a number of personal bios I found online with grandiose claims, i.e. recognized by Forbes, nationally recognized, widely regarded, etc. and I did not find any independent, notable sources to constitute SIGCOV. Most of it is just him stating that, or his bio pasted somewhere. However, he has written several online blogs and articles and so I did consider him for WP:NACADEMIC. Unfortunately, none of it's cited in Google Scholar, and mostly appears to be his opinion and not original research as well. Feels like WP:NOT. Megtetg34 ( talk) 01:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
