 * Keep Seems to be quite notable. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:25, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Is this some kind of joke? :) From what I see above, it reminds me a lot of the amusing example in wp:ITSNOTABLE. "Non-notable" or "Seems to be notable" are no reasons for deletion/keeping. Can you please clarify why he isn't notable in your opinion? Anyway, a simple Google search returns plenty of reliable sources and significant coverage. Maashatra11 (talk) 22:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * then share them because my Google searches return tons of articles he has written promoting himself and very few independent substantive articles about him as a subject. Ridernyc (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a source now, but there are a lot more. Maashatra11 (talk) 16:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep In the context of Australian writers (authors) on Share Trading Guppy is probably the most successful in terms of international acceptance and recognition. To describe him as a non-notable TV commentator may be correct in a US context or even among Australian TV commentators, but totally ignores his authorship of the books listed on the page I established and the scale of his operations as a businessman. The combination of authorship, publishing business, international offices, TV commentator on financial matters, speaker at Financial conferences alongside people like Bollinger, and having invented a technical analysis technique that has been included in some charting software (Metastock) altogether makes him notable as an Australia financial writer dinghy (talk) 01:17, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Lots of claims that he is notable yet still not a single independent source showing he is notable. Having a vast bibliography is not an indication of notability. Ridernyc (talk) 16:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Response: your original reason cited for non-notable ignored most of the reasons why Guppy is notable in his field and focussed on a minor aspect of his work. Now you are changing reasons. But your new reason has already been found wanting by other editors (see above). Guppy is quoted on one of the most popular US based Financial websites, Seeking Alpha, which is what prompted me to do the page, given he is an internationally know Australian financial writer:Seeking Alpha search Please read the "About" page of Seeking Alpha before dismissing it. Of all the other Australian financial (investment) authors, which are more notable by comparison and why? This would help me understand your objections. By the way, a simple google search of Daryl Guppy at site:smh.com.au shows notability by one of Australia's leading broadsheet papers. dinghy (talk) 03:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Where exactly did anything change? I still claim he's not notable. 12:59, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Notability is established, however article needs significant work. - Shiftchange (talk) 13:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
