Andrew Grimwade
Delete. Apparently a vanity page, created by a user name "Grimwade". JGF Wilks 18:21, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Stong Keep - many accomplishments, most notable in my mind is giving the ocean-front land to the state to create Coorong National Park. Ruby 18:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:VAIN, tagged article PotentialVanity -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 18:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Many accomplishments, including being an author. Apparently he was also involved in a case that went before the Supreme Court of Australia, (although that isn't mentioned in the article). He got 141 hits on Google.  Seems to be a notable person.  Article needs to be cleaned up a bit. - Nortonew 18:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Desperately in need of cleanup and verification, but the bits I've been able to casually confirm are enough to establish notability. -Colin Kimbrell 17:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oooooh. This one's mine. Keep keep keep. Sir Andrew, it appears, was convicted on nineteen counts of fraud and conspiracy in something involving an entity called Jetcorp in, I think, 1995. He got off on appeal, on a technicality. But he did it. But I think that definitely makes him notable Now, I'm quite certain that (a) The article can be rewritten to highlight and emphasize the most notable aspects of his career, and (b) the article creator, esteemed editor User:Grimwade, will -- being of course dedicated, like all Wikipedia editors, to the unvarnished truth -- doubtless be both surprised and delighted to find this case the centerpiece of the article -- this giving him exactly what he was asking for. Everybody's happy! Herostratus 20:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
