This BLP was "weak keep" in a 2010 AFD. Since 2016, this has been tagged for notability. Subject is someone who founded a Canadian marketing agency, and has appeared as a competitor on various game shows. Sourcing is questionable.
- Sourcing www.baitshoppe.com and Branch Out Clothing are primary sourcing being Starkman's own companies.
- Television appearances section is mostly sourced with MTV program listings.
- Other work section is also partially sourced from Branch Out Clothing
- WP:BLP Sexual assault allegations section. This has been disputed and deleted by IPs, and also by someone who claims to be the real Evan Starkman, who left an edit summary that said in part, "The description of these events rely on sources which do not exist and are meant to smear my name without merit." Restored by LauritzT, with a message on the talk page of the last reverting editor.
