Fails WP:GNG. Sources present are mostly about his company, other items, and WP:ROUTINE coverage. – Muboshgu ( talk) 02:15, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

- Delete a non-notable businessman. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 07:00, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: His claims to notability are that he is 1) CEO / co-founder of a company, 2) founder of an organisation, 3) winner of an award (plus others of presumed lesser notability), and 4) an expert on public-private partnerships, etc. #1 and #2 do not sufficiently establish notability unless the company/organisation is established as notable, and by default CEOs of companies with minor notability don't pass the bar (see WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE). In theory if Draft:ADEC Innovations/ ADEC Innovations were to be established as notable he could be redirected and briefly covered there, but this doesn't appear overwhelmingly likely. #3 does not appear to rise to the level of WP:ANYBIO#1. Nor does coverage of his expertise appear sufficient to equate to WP:ACADEMIC#1, etc. ~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~ 09:10, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Weak delete - seems like a run of the mill businessman, although if his work in Manila was pioneering, then better sources could be found, added, and beefed up to show notability. Bearian ( talk) 19:15, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - References to subject as a UNECE partner for his experience in business process management, sustainability and PPPs. Multiple sources of information about the subject from UN, business, entrepreneur websites to top media organizations validates his notability. Subject was recently appointed as Honorary Consul for Samoa in the Philippines. Fengwei200 ( talk) 13:59, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Most sources are routine coverage of the person's business, and not the person himself. Previously speedy deleted under WP:G11. See delete log. — Newslinger talk 17:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
