Per WP:BASIC, "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]"

Multiple published secondary sources:

  • C-SPAN live television appearance
  • Wall Street Journal
  • CBS Money Watch
  • Official transcript of public company earnings calls with investors (Seeking Alpha)

(Multiple = more than one. Four listed here).

Reliable:

  • C-SPAN live television appearance - yes
  • Wall Street Journal - yes
  • CBS Money Watch - yes
  • Official transcript of public company earnings calls with investors (Seeking Alpha) - yes

Independent of each other:

  • C-SPAN live television appearance - yes
  • Wall Street Journal - yes
  • CBS Money Watch - yes
  • Official transcript of public company earnings calls with investors (Seeking Alpha) - yes

Independent of the subject:

  • C-SPAN live television appearance - yes
  • Wall Street Journal - yes
  • CBS Money Watch - yes
  • Official transcript of public company earnings calls with investors (Seeking Alpha) - yes
Response: His C-SPAN appearance is not significant coverage, as he was not the topic, voter demographics was the topic. The Wall Street Journal CEO Counsel listing is not independent, it's a counsel he's a member of. And a transcript of his own words being issued by the company he russ is about as far from "independent" as one can get. Please find some better sourcing or be prepared to see this article taken to AFD. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:43, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

It is written poorly but even worse is the references to support the content. They amount to being self-published sources.--WatchingContent (talk) 20:15, 19 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
