Won election to county board of commissioners, but otherwise a failed politician. Non-notable business owner. Most all links here are self-published (including personal Facebook and LinkedIn pages), plus corporate promotional links. Mikeblas (talk) 12:58, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I see no better improvement here. Pinging Magnolia677 and Voceditenore. SwisterTwister talk 04:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep as owner of 40 radio stations; the rest of the claims don't seem to be detailed enough to get a grasp on whether they're significant. A county board seat is not in itself a high enough office to attract Wikipedia-level notability for its occupant. --Closeapple (talk) 11:01, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Comprehensively fails WP:Politician and owning lots of non-notable local radio stations is not enough to qualify for notability as a businessman in the absence of secondary sources about this aspect of his career or his company. If by some chance this horrifically spammy advertorial is kept, it will need drastic editing.Voceditenore (talk) 16:27, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:NPOL and searches turned up nothing to show they pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:20, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
