I nominate this puff piece for deletion per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION, which disallows the writing of promotional articles, and per WP:NOPAY.

Some related side points follow.

Dear Chaklalajob: Undisclosed paid editing is a cheap and sleazy thing to do. See also the two short cautionary tales at User:Durova/The dark side. Personally, I feel that even disclosed paid editing makes Wikipedia a worse place for the world to get information. Still, if you feel that you must do paid editing, then I request that you please not write new articles. Instead, get Wikipedians to write new articles for you. See WP:BPCOI.

Delete, even the paid editing issue aside, this is a résumé, not an encyclopædia article. There are a handful of minor awards and some incidental coverage, the sort you'd expect to find for any wealthy individual in the finance industry. I'm sure he's a nice person, but does not meet WP:BIO, in my view. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 08:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Delete per Lankiveil. No real evidence of notability by Wikipedia standards. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
