Non-notable per WP:BIO -Bogsat 17:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, co-founder of Coffee Republic which is a notable coffee house franchise in the UK (competitors are Starbucks, Cafe Nero and Costa), so some notability Catchpole 20:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Poorly written, but a quick Google search turns up results that indicate to me he is notable. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 20:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. Although I certainly may look foolish as a minority of one, I must respectfully disagree with my fellow editors above and retain my "Delete" opinion.  First of all, I do not believe that the single reference to Franchise Magazine, a non-notable publication itself, satisfies the WP:V requirement that "Articles should rely on credible, third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Second, since the subject's only claim to notability is the founding of Coffee Republic, itself a non-notable company, I still do not believe the article passes the requirements of WP:BIO. I realize that this is all probably moot at this point, but I just wanted to clarify my position.  Thanks. --Satori Son 17:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
