Cannot find any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:BIO. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Promotional article. None of the references provided help towards WP:GNG. Edwardx ( talk) 20:45, 14 February 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as mere PROMO unsupported by WP:RS. Lede reads: "an entrepreneur, consultant and author, with the bulk of his clients being American." Problem is, there are no verifiable, independent sources. He is described as "Fatt is the former Marketing Editor for the Hospitality News.," a non-notable job, sourced only to Hospitality News. Article also asserts that "Fatt has been featured in..." a list of publicattions that includes at least one WP:RS, the Rocky Mountain News, problem is, the citation is to "“The Street Smart Secret To Getting New Customers To Your Restaurant. Hospitality News Rocky Mtn. States Edition, pg. 9." which is not the rocky Mountain News, but the publication Fatt worked for. He may have written this ad other articles listed, in non-notable publications. There is no indication of notability and no SIGCOV. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:11, 17 February 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Nothing here is a strong claim to passing our notability standards for entrepreneurs, consultants or writers, and all of the sourcing in the article is complete crap with nary a hint of even one reliable source for the purposes of clearing WP:GNG. I can't prove it outright, but this is exactly the sort of "trying really hard but completely missing the boat" article that normally pings my conflict of interest radar.
