Insufficient independent evidence of notability. One of the sources is Carlson's own website; another three are behind paywalls so can't be read; no evidence to suggest Carlson is a notable blogger/writer. MurielMary ( talk) 07:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete this is nothing more than WP:UPE PR nonsense, along with the other TOU violations, Gardenista and Remodelista. Searching news sources gives a lot of passing mentions but nothing worthwhile. Praxidicae ( talk) 11:14, 7 January 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete a non-notable writer. Plus the article is overly promotional. Wikipedia is not a promotion platform. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete per WP:V and WP:TNT. Sources are broken links, dead links, or lifestyle features for the social set, not serious biographical sources. Bearian ( talk) 21:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC) reply

• @ Missvain: Very nice. @ MurielMary, Praxidicae, Johnpacklambert, and Bearian:? ミラ P 16:48, 11 January 2020 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I still feel that a lot of this is puffery and I imagine citogenesis based on the other two UPE articles, so I'll let the AFD play out. Praxidicae ( talk) 16:50, 11 January 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Praxidicae: This is why this exists. Try it. ミラ P 18:18, 11 January 2020 (UTC) reply

I'm aware but I fail to see how on earth that's relevant. Feel free to look at my AFD history if you doubt my familiarity with this template. Praxidicae ( talk) 18:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep - poorly sourced at the moment but the WSJ, New York Times and Washington Post articles above are substantial and alone should indicate WP:GNG. Thanks Missvain Cardiffbear88 ( talk) 23:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC) reply
