- Notability, COI. This is a businessman who has co-authored 2 books and co-authored an app. COI (Autobiography?): The picture is taken directly from the subject's [http://markjcsimmons.com/?page_id=126 personal website]. The primary editor has the same name as the subject. Notability: there are only 2 (that I found) reliable, 3rd party mentions of the subject - one from when he was running a (seems defunct) [http://flavorwire.com/104499/daily-dose-pick-the-business-playground business] and one a blurb about one of the books and basically mentions his name [http://flavorwire.com/104499/daily-dose-pick-the-business-playground branding legend]". I could find no reliable 3rd party articles or books that confirm any of the personal details of the subject or the subject's impact on the world. The rest of the supporting citations were dead links or primary sources.EBY (talk) 20:59, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

- Delete It is hard to find any notability here. The articles in Ad Week are more about the company and its advertising products than about the person, although his name is mentioned. All of that is normal, but not notable. There would be a stronger argument if the "punk advertising" movement itself had gained notability, but from searches that does not seem to be the case.
