This person is non notable for Wiki standards, article is written like some promotional profile. Wiki is not social media to promote oneself. There would be thousands people in the world like him. Ca not compromise the credibility of wikipedia on this ground. book can be best selling but does not make a person Encyclopedic notable as it stands for. If we read the article coverage, it is definitely not significant. Light2021 (talk) 05:59, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

• KEEP That the article is written "like some promotional profile" (which perhaps it is slightly, but can be easily fixed with some cleanup) is not a rationale for deletion. Nominator should have spent a few minutes doing a cursory search for Mr. Ferrazzi, and would have quickly realised that he meets GNG. Kingoflettuce (talk) 06:05, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Indeed I have done, and not found any In-depth coverage by notable media established by Misplaced Pages. can you elaborate your sources for coverage? Light2021 (talk) 18:45, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
• Delete. Indeed oozes promo. Sources are poor - mentions in passing, WP:INTERVIEW. Imho fails WP:NBIO. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:46, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
• Keep - I agree with Kingoflettuce that the issue is more promotional cleanup than notability. I just removed content that could be borderline promotional, and tried to edit in such a way to preserve the gist and sourcing, without being promotional. Of further note, while hunting for sources, I found some info about a new company Ferrazzi founded called Yoi, in partnership with Zappos’ Tony Hsieh and Groupon’s Brad Keywell.] I'll set up a Google alert for Yoi and once there's mainstream media coverage, I'll add the info.

  • Was just going through your profile. Several times you have found in the category of Paid editor. complete violation of Misplaced Pages, and clears your intention on writing about this individual without having any of the coverage proof. As there are none.Light2021 (talk) 19:53, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
• You must be kidding about http://wikn.co/ as a source of coverage? a blog with rank of "19,853,096"? and Google alert or partners or associate with any known individuals does not make anyone notable himself/ herself. Light2021 (talk) 18:41, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• KEEP With the promo stuff cleaned up keep. A search shows he reaches notablity.Michael614 (talk) 16:19, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

  Can you please cite few notable media coverage you are referring to? and that also by wikipedia guidelines.

  • Are we talking about these as In-depth and notable coverage?
  • Fast Company : "Meet the Superconnectors: How the new mavens of networking are playing a different (and more generous) game."
  • Forbes articles mentioned the name, such article are written everyday on Online version of Forbes " Ferrazzi believes it’s essential to “lead with generosity; lead with being of service to people. The more ‘of service’ you are, the more currency you have, and the more people will want to spend time with you.”
  • Ny Times Books for purchase list?

I have not found any single source where this person has been covered for his notability and with in-depth coverage. Light2021 (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Keep  There is no evidence of a WP:BEFORE Google source search in the nomination, which would have shown that the topic has attracted the attention of the world at large over a period of time.  Article has been here since 2006.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has several articles from many years, does not make it significant, can you please provide notable, in-depth coverage if any? Light2021 (talk) 06:17, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
