Lack of notability. Cites are to items which are abot products rather than him. TheLongTone ( talk) 15:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Martin Roll is a well-respected author especially in the topic of C-suite branding in Asia. His works can be found [1] here on Amazon. A prove of his association with INSEAD can also be found on INSEAD site at [2]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belindaang ( talk • contribs) 12:11, 25 September 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep. I wrote the original entry and I am amazed by the continued attempts to delete him. The previous editor that tried, ended up supporting keeping the article, and improved it considerably. Roll is a frequent expert contributor to global media, there is a full back page from China Daily only about him and he is the author of several books, one of which won the accolades of Business+Strategy. I am really lost as to why this is not sufficient, as my reading of the notability guidelines I have always followed, says that he fulfils the requirement. I am also slightly disappointed by an editor who says "about products and not about him", when this is factually incorrect, something that is evident if one reads all the referenced articles.

• Keep. Here is the talk page edit that I made after reaching the conclusion that, contrary to my initial opinion, Martin Roll meets WP:GNG and therefore merits an article in Wikipedia. Zazpot ( talk) 22:33, 18 September 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Satisfies GNG and AUTHOR with multiple periodical reviews. Coverage in China Daily and quite a lot of sources in GNews. Review of "Asian Brand Strategy" in The Telegraph: [3] (see "BookEnd" section). Coverage in strategy+business magazine: [4]. It is also highly cited with well over a hundred cites: [5]. There are reviews of "The Future of Branding" in Global Business Review, volume 17, issue 6 and Vision, volume 20, issue 4, [6] (both December 2016). There are over seven hundred library holdings of his books: [7]. James500 ( talk) 05:07, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
