::'''Comment''' Business Live is the website of [[Business Day (South Africa)|Business Day]], a long established national daily newspaper, that's a [[WP:RS]] and the [[Financial Mail]] both founded in 1959. It is NOT a "trade publication", but a well-respected publication with a long pedigree. [[User:Park3r|Park3r]] ([[User talk:Park3r|talk]]) 09:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Park3r|Park3r]] Do you have ties to Business Day or the Financial Mail? [[User:Rhombus|Rhombus]] ([[User talk:Rhombus|talk]]) 09:19, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

::There is no requirement that a source be a "publication of record" - but it's a useful rule of thumb, and I mention it to encourage some thought about what it means for a source to be high-quality.

::Paid-subscription publications take money for editorial content all the time, and if anything, this problem is getting worse, not better. This is especially true of trade publications. I don't yet see any evidence that this is a reliable source. The onus should be on the person citing to establish that a source is reliable.

*'''Delete''' Thoroughly unremarkable businessman with run of the mill coverage. I would assume good faith on the part of the article creator however: usually the perps for paid-for vanity articles either have previous form or have done the few edits becessary before creating the lump of fluff.[[User:TheLongTone|TheLongTone]] ([[User talk:TheLongTone|talk]]) 14:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
