Non-notable individual. Borders on vanity page. References are lacking substance and are mostly quotes, about companies (not individual), or PR related. Article extensively edited by COI. reddogsix ( talk) 16:30, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. Too promotional. The vast majority of sources seem to be about Microworkz and its troubled history, not biographical details about Latman. One of the sources, this interview from Bloomberg, actually is about him, but I notice that the fact he pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud is missing from this Wikipedia article. Yes, it would be simple enough to add that line to it, but the whole thing would need to be rewritten, anyway, to get rid of the promotional tone. For a questionably notable person, it's better to have no article than a promotional one. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 19:25, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
