Doesn't yet meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Impressive list of achievements, but can't find significant coverage from independent sources about Wallace himself in a WP:BEFORE search, only passing mentions in articles about biotech business and about the cycling league he started. The Harvard Business School coverage is significant, but not independent. The 2017 Boston Business Journal "40 under 40" listing is neither notable nor secondary, and is mostly an interview with Wallace.
The article was created by an editor with a new account but apparent expertise in article creation, who has helpfully declared paid editing at their user page, but then gone ahead and created the article in main space rather than submit it as a draft for review.

- Delete: A heap of interviews, primary sources, press releases and casual mentions. Lacking are qualifying citations that meet the GNG. Ravenswing 01:53, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete agree, many interviews, not much else we can use. Lots of hits on some sort of treasure hunt using this name. Don't think it's the same person. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
