This appears to be a promotional piece for an entrepreneur who hasn't received much independent coverage and doesn't look notable to me.

The references provided are mostly dead links or don't mention Safko. The others appear to be from organizations closely associated with the subject, or groups who hired him as a speaker. The first deletion nomination in 2015 was closed as no consensus, although no !votes were made apart from the nomination, only a comment. -- MarchOfTheGreyhounds ( talk) 20:36, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply

• Delete a promotional article on a non-notable person. Wikipedia is not a place for someone to try to promote themselves to be notable, articles are supposed to be on subjects that already are clearly notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:30, 11 July 2022 (UTC) reply
• Delete Agree the article is merely promotional and subject doesn't meet notability standards.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 13:38, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
