Delete likely a promotional page, he's authored a few articles in Gnews, not much for coverage otherwise. Runner up in a non-notable competition.

Sorry, I do not understand your point. If quotes from the subject make it an interview and ineligible then how do you use it yourself in most of your articles?

Interviews aren't used for RS, they can support an article but can't be the sole basis for the article. You can quote the subject saying xyz thing, but you need other sources to build the article around.

Haueirlan, The first two are obviously from the same press release. The other two contain little besides quoting Blake's own words. None of them contribute to notability.
Delete. Fails
WP:SIGCOV. Of the sources listed above, The Irish Mirror and The Irish News are both suspiciously close in content and language and both lack a by-lined author. As such, it's clear that these stories were based on a press release, likely by the Forbes Agency Council, and therefore lack sufficient independence from the subject to be counted towards notability. Likewise, The Irish Sun, The News Letter, and BizCommunity all lack sufficient independence from the subject because they are all interviews. What is sorely lacking here is any independent coverage. All we have are interview and/or press release puff pieces promoting the subject that lack sufficient independence to prove GNG.
