 * I thought I would address the reasoning behind the AfD as it may help you with the article. As it stands right now, I think there is a case to be made for inclusion of this article. However, it lacks significant 3rd party sources. By that, I mean, I read the Financial Times article and it simply mentions him as a source but it doesn't really talk about why he is important (i.e. the article isn't actually about him). Of course, I recognize that finding significant coverage of people who work as analysts is probably a difficult thing to do (which is why I put it through the AfD process). The article also reads a little too much of promotion which would not be consistent with Wikipedia's NPOV policy. The majority of the sources seem to be works by Hodges himself (although I recognize TV interviews lend some credence), but there isn't any real coverage of people explaining why Mr. Hodges is significant (which would be the criteria for inclusion).
