There are two claims of notability here, one is a company he owns and the other is for a reality television appearance.
The bulk of the article is a near complete cut-and paste from Birdman Bats, a company that he's involved with. My WP:BEFORE search turns up This source (and to a lesser extent this one) which provide inadequate justification for a standalone article.
The next is for appearing on Labor of Love, for which the sources appear to weak.
I would suggest a redirect to Birdman Bats as an option in lieu of deletion. Alansohn (talk) 21:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Associated article, Birdman Bats, has been deleted following discussion at WP:COI. This nominated page also reeks of paid editing. Most sources on the page do not even mention the subject. Subject otherwise fails WP:GNG. ProcrasinatingReader (talk) 15:02, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete there is some coverage, for the Labor of Love tv show and Birdman bats. But it is not in terrific depth, and the article is a strong promotional effort that would require serious rewrite. I'm not sure we would find enough good sourcing for a proper article.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:14, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
