Run-of-the-mill businessman. Fails WP:GNG. References provided look to be mentions-in-passing or rely on company produced material, press releases and/or quotations. Edwardx (talk) 19:56, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Sources as listed are not independent, nor do they cover the subject in detail. Two sources are broken links. Fails to meet WP:GNG. NiklausGerard (talk) 20:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I agree that the article could do some work, but feel that the subject is still noteworthy enough. -Nzgabriel (talk) 02:57, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Nzgabriel, as you created this article over five years ago, it would appear that you have had long enough to do the work. On the subject of work, your initial creation has many of the hallmarks of paid editing. Are you familiar with our policy Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and do you have a declaration to make?

• Delete The subject is, not though for lack of trying, a non-notable businessman. The photoportrait is impressive, the sourcing anything but. We mostly have, to be brief about it, news items about business developments, corporate moves, etc, but very little about the person itself. And cramming the article with weak sources is always a warning. I mean, what is this, for example, supposed to prove? -The Gnome (talk)
