Talk:Ian Powell (businessman)

Notability
Yesterday, I reverted Onel5969's WP:BOLD move to replace this article's content with a redirect on the grounds that it lacked notability. I also removed the notability tag which had earlier been added by someone else (I hadn't noticed the tag until I reviewed Onel's edit).

I did this because Powell meets the threshold of our notability criteria. He was given a knighthood in the UK (WP:ANYBIO #1) and an honorary doctorate, led one of the Big Four accountancy firms and now heads a FTSE 250-indexed major professional services company, and has an entry in the selective UK version of Who's Who which is published by Oxford University Press. A quick Google shows up that he has also received a lot of coverage in the news, including interviews and articles where he alone is the subject.

Onel has reverted my removal of the notability tag on the basis that I didn't improve the article, so I have now added "further reading" references to five articles in national newspapers/the trade press which clearly demonstrate his notability. Given all of this, if there is any doubt about Powell's suitability for inclusion here, I suggest this article be taken to AfD where a full discussion can be had with wider community involvement.
