Please post messages at the bottom of a talk page, or they may be overlooked.

Thank you for stating that you do not know Pilbeam, although I wonder why you chose to make your very first edits here a full biography of someone apparently chosen at random. I note that you call him "Keith" and you know where he lives and that he has a child, although that's not in your source.

Please read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Two of your five paragraphs are unreferenced, the others are all referenced to his own university page. That will have been written by or approved by him, and is therefore not an independent third-party source, we are not interested in what he says about himself
 * You said that website, was the only one I could find with good information. If he's really not mentioned in any proper independent sources, it's difficult to see how he meets the notability criteria I've linked above.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * You make the following unsourced or self-sourced claims and opinions undertaken extensive consultancy work for several City financial institutions... he has contributed extensively to the field... prestigious... widely recognized... Also, why is the claimed Association of Business Schools 3* ranking  sourced to him, and not them?


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Your text was created in a few edits without any wikilinks and with one ref, and apart from the personal life bit is pretty much a close paraphrase of the source. I didn't run the plagiarism tool since I was going to delete anyway, but note that just changing odd words can still be a copyright violation.

Not a reason for deletion, but note that publications should be italicised, like International Journal of Finance and Economics. Although your source failed to do so, you shouldn't copy incorrect formatting, unless you didn't know the right way.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
