Twinkling XfD after IP {{u|2401:4900:2503:1A19:4540:B6DA:8AC4:3DF8}} tried to ask for speedy deletion (albeit without knowing how to and somewhat butchering the page). IP's rationale was "The article is regrettably pure self promotion. The personality is not note worthy of encyclopedic inclusion. The article may be moved for deletion with immediate effect. The text in the article resembles to a great extent the text in the personality's personal webpage. Such self aggrandizement and promotion ought not to be entertained on an Encyclopedic Platform." Moral of the story: although I don't know if the IP read/was familiar with general notability guidelines, the IP was on to something, and this article may not meet notability (among other problems the article has).
