non-notable vanity spam, also deleted on dewiki numerous times - despite the claims here is not notable - there is no coverage OF him, just links to him writing for Entrepreneur, which apparently does allow contributors. Being a member of Forbes Council is ridiculous since you pay to be a member and pay to publish your own content. Nothing else in the way of coverage. PRAXIDICAE💕 13:13, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

• Delete. To clarify, this has never been deleted at de-wiki as the result of an AfD. The context is relevant to understand our article, though: the de-wiki page was created (by a user named "PSscherzinger") on 26 January, and deleted in under a minute for lack of encyclopedic relevance (de-wiki's version of notability, somewhat different from en-wiki's). At some point it was recreated, speedy-deleted on 8 May, recreated by IP 2A02:908:2542:9060:E545:5E3E:4726:BFF (talk · contribs · WHOIS) on 9 May, and again speedied and this time salted on 9 May. The en-wiki version was created by Aprikose77, who created their account on 9 May (after the 2nd de-wiki speedy deletion and before the IP editor recreated the page a third time). They also put it on fr-wiki. Article created by "BusinessGuru78" on pt-wiki on 10 May is already up for AfD. Obvious spam is obvious. -- asilvering (talk) 18:14, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
