WP:BLP, with significant overtones of "prosified résumé" writing tone, of a business consultant and unelected political candidate. The sourcing here is completely primary, with not a shred of reliable source coverage in sight, and the article makes no claim of notability that would entitle him to a freebie in the absence of proper sourcing: WP:NPOL grants nothing to unelected candidates, and our rules for businesspeople require much more reliable sourcing than this. (Also possible WP:COI, as this was created by an WP:SPA whose username can be read as implying a direct connection to Hanson-Luke or his company, as the first two letters of it are "HL".) Delete.
