WP:BLP of an "influencer, healthcare innovator, author, journalist and host", not properly sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for any of those occupations. As always, Wikipedia is not a free LinkedIn alternative on which people are entitled to have articles just because they exist -- meeting our inclusion test requires passing WP:GNG on third party reliable source coverage about their work in order to establish its significance.
But the main notability claim here is that he exists, eight of the nine footnotes are primary sources (staff or contributor profiles on the self-published websites of companies or organizations he's directly affiliated with, directory entries, press releases, etc.) that are not support for notability, and the one footnote that does come from a third party source is a fluff piece in a minor local-interest magazine that reads more like an advertorial than a real piece of objective journalism, and thus is not sufficient to singlehandedly vault him over GNG all by itself if all the rest of the sourcing is garbage.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Nothing found for this person. Gnews has an article about an Elvis impersonator, a man that attacked people with a sword and stuff about crop production levels. None of which help here. What's used for sourcing in the article is primary or promotional. Oaktree b (talk) 15:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails NBIO, found little to no third party coverage.-KH-1 (talk) 00:30, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per those above. The article on his podcast All Home Care Matters should probably also be deleted given it is referenced by press releases and non-independent sources. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
