This businessman doen't appear to pass WP:ANYBIO, with neither his business activities nor his family connections sufficient claims of notability. The closest thing to significant coverage I could find is this short article about his wedding, but it reads like routine coverage of a high society wedding and provides very little information on the subject himself.

• Comment because of his business positions he can be notable but I can't find any SIGCOV in RS. Also his last name (Model), is the reason of not finding any SIGCOV. If others find significant coverage, my idea is Keep, otherwise Delete. Brayan ocaner (talk) 22:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I don't think any of his business positions make him particularly notable. I'm also struggling to find much significant coverage of his business achievements. However, I did find a bit more info on him, which may help others in making a decision.^[1][2][3] The CBS article could go some way to providing notability, but for me it's not quite enough.

Thank you for locating these sources. I agree with your assessment that they don't quite constitute significant coverage but they're definitely useful. Lennart97 (talk) 12:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Google books and newspapers.com didn't return any hits. Surely a significant past figure, should have something in these sources. MartinWilder (talk) 03:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
