Non-notable WP:BIO. In a WP:BEFORE search all I can find is a ton of self-promotional interviews and obvious paid placement, including deprecated sources like WP:THESUN and WP:DAILYEXPRESS, but also the cited "contributor" article from WP:FORBESCON, and the Bangkok Post interview cited here which is at least clearly marked as PR. His charity work has only routine local newspaper coverage. The rest is passing mentions such as the Reuters and Huffpost articles cited about him joining charity fundraisers, articles written by him, and unreliable sources like news blogs. Speedy deleted G11 once at Samuel leach (created by same editor), and this one is borderline. Wikishovel ( talk) 11:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
