None of the existing references in this article provide significant coverage in reliable, independent sources of this person. They are either self-published sources (Linked In), ones connected with him (interviews, pieces published by places he has worked or volunteered, speaker lists), or passing mentions. I have carried out WP:BEFORE, and added a review of one of his books, but I cannot find more coverage to add. I was surprised, and wonder if I have missed other coverage which would demonstrate that he meets WP:NAUTHOR; but as the article has been tagged with notability concerns since 2022, I thought best to bring it to the community. No obvious redirect target. The article only has two incoming links, and these both relate to a Rex Black who has stood as a political candidate; I can't find a reliable source to confirm that this is the same person.

- Delete - we are not LinkedIn. This is lacking good sources, completely. It's almost a speedy delete. Bearian (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I had closed this as soft delete, but did not realise it had already been deleted once before, so not eligible for soft deletion. Having corrected my mistake, I cannot find sourcing to satisfy the GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:34, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
