Almost every source is PR. Many of them are interviews with the subject for promotional purposes. I'm not finding any in-depth, reliable, independent, coverage elsewhere, either, only a few passing mentions. Also does not appear to meet WP:NACADEMIC (assuming Avamere is not major). —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Almost all of the sources in the article are WP:PRIMARY or not WP:INDEPENDENT. I could not find any real secondary coverage outside of passing mentions in listicles about his baby gear company. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 13:02, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. For possible WP:NACADEMIC, based on this article, the Avamere Professor of Practice is a non-tenure faculty position that doesn't seem to fall under WP:NACADEMIC#C6, but I'm not positive. Here is a second ref from the University which describes the new position "to be held by a limited number of eminently qualified academic, business, or government leaders who have made major impacts on fields and disciplines important to university programs." Otherwise, I also could not find any significant coverage beyond mentions about Patagonia leadership or baby gear company. The Patagonia coverage would fit well into existing Patagonia article.
