I'm not at all convinced that this article meets notability criteria. This page and Gojimo have both been substansively written only by a single special-interest user with few other edits. There are a large number of articles sourced for each but I'm not sure that they actually prove notability in this case; I think the notable content is effectively covered in the Gojimo article.

Comment it appears to be a very promotional article --Devokewater@ 11:29, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I completely agree with this, but my understanding is that the (absolutely existent) problems with the tone of the article don't necessarily have a bearing on whether or not the article should be deleted. To be honest I strongly suspect that the article was written by the subject himself. TorriderChimp (talk) 11:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG, the sources don't seem all that great, I think quite a few are Twitter. May be WP:TOOSOON. EverybodyEdits (talk) 01:28, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:GNG fail. I've found more often than not, articles with the disambiguation "entrepreneur" generally tend to be pr pieces. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
