Article makes no claim to notability. Career section reads like a CV - moving from position to position - but does not outline any accomplishments in any of the roles, notable or otherwise. No significant coverage - the references are largely mentions in passing/regurgitated press releases. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify. The article has just been undeleted at the request of Ofalk88 (see WP:TH#page about Michael Wallis-Brown is deleted) Given the content of the original nomination, I doubt if they can show notability, but we should give them a chance to find sources. --ColinFine (talk) 13:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Just querying how that would work? Given that Ofalk88 has a conflict of interest, they should not edit the article themselves; certainly not to the extent of adding content that would presumably signify notability. Given the lack of sources found at the previous AfD or my own WP:BEFORE, I can't see anyone else adding much, either. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 14:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There is no reason a declared paid editor with a declared CoI should not edit a draft. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:04, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Indeed, this is one of the purposes of AfC. -- asilvering (talk) 19:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or draftify. The current version doesn't indicate what his claim to notability is. Maproom (talk) 16:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not really any point in draftifying, particularly not at the request of a conflicted editor. I did a thorough WP:BEFORE search during New Page Review which resulted in the first AfD, and I found nothing to qualify this WP:MILL business executive for WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. I also reviewed all sources in this WP:REFBOMB and found no WP:SIGCOV in any of them; all coverage is WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Dclemens1971. This isn’t an article: it’s a train wreck. If the subject paid for this mess, he needs a refund. This is your reminder that we are a charity, not a free web host. Bearian (talk) 02:13, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
