PROD rationale was: "Promotional page. All sources are suspect for reliability and independance, with many being explicit in that they are paid promotions. User appears to be single-purpose in their efforts to promote this person." Deprodded by SPA. Schwede 66 19:40, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? You wrote the article. You de-PRODDED it. What changed your mind, Karenluying? Schwede 66 23:36, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per the deprod, the article appears to pass GNG at first glance, but checking sources reveals a medley of very similar WP:SPONSORED or sponsored-looking “news” articles. Note that per WP:COVERT, the articles in American publications ([1], [2], [3]) are required by law to disclosed their paid status (with Ascend Agency), while other countries presumably lack similar standards. — HTGS (talk) 00:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I didn’t realise that some of those sources were doing what looks like undisclosed paid promotion. Disappointing. Park3r (talk) 08:19, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
