Per WP:NOTABILITY and WP:ADVERT. The two references show his name in a list of donor people. No significant coverage whatsoever. The external links lead directly or indirectly to information on his Cash-on-Demand system. Googling his name gives nothing but 'millionaire philantropist'-results. One would say such a figure has some text on him in an RS, but no.

I won't go as far as saying the Cash-on-Demand system that the page in effect advertises is a scam, but the page is only an empty hull that the editor (also COI) has placed on his userpage as well. This has been deleted. Besides, there is no sign of notability on Andrew Reynolds as an entrepreneur or person. Pim Rijkee (talk) 11:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: Mephistophelian found the author's note. It claims there is sufficient background information on Andrew Reynolds. I have invited the author on his Talk to discuss/show these sources.


 * Delete - no evidence of notability in third-party sources, also very clearly a scam artist. JoshuSasori (talk) 11:51, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as an autobiographical and promotional article regarding a non-notable individual. Mephistophelian (talk) 12:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC).

 * Delete as per the nomination.--Juristicweb (talk) 02:06, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. I found that there is quite alot on him as both an Philantropist and Entreprenuer on the web. Is the reason for wanting to delete based on the opinion that he is a scam artist? Give it some time to allow others to edit and expand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwtaylor63 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as per the nomination. As a volunteer with experience serving on the board of directors of a local United Way, I can appreciate Andrew Reynolds’ charitable contribution(s) to Make a Wish Foundations and other charitable organizations. Charitable organizations will give titles such as Ambassador to donors like Reynolds who give substantial amounts to charity. If donating substantial amounts to charities would render notability, then there will be thousands of people who should be added to Wikipedia for just donating money. I believe that the tax credit from the government for charitable donations is sufficient recognition for such good deeds and there is no need to create a page on Wikipedia to further elaborate on such donations. Additionally, the awards Reynalds received for his business successes don’t appear to me as grounds for supporting notability. If these awards were of major national or international significance or impact then they might have been relevant for purposes of this debate. I didn’t find it to be the case here.--Oceangreenn (talk) 14:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
