 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Lack of notability beyond WP:BLP1E. He's a natural gas trader in the news for being dismissed after losing a large ammount of funds. However I can find no other notability beyond the single event. Cube lurker (talk) 02:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. Only claim to notability is for one event, and even that is not much of a claim. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 02:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the comments above; whether or not the event is notable, the person is only notable as part of that event, thus WP:BLP1E. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 02:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added some references. There seem to be two related issues here, not just one. The first is the huge amount of the bank's money that he lost. The second is the allegation that he received payments from Optionable Inc., a broker involved in the controversial trades. --Eastmain (talk) 03:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I wish I could vote a Keep for this one, because there seems to be a good deal of external coverage of the event(s). But the only reason he's semi-famous is because of one event (or two related events), and there's not much notability otherwise. -- Jamie  S93  13:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's  right to keep it under his name, as he is a central figure. apparently internationally notable. DGG (talk) 00:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E and general non-notability. KleenupKrew (talk) 01:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As said above he is only known in relation to one event and the article has no real content, even though the event occurred last year, so it probably won't get much better. Blahblah5555 (talk) 05:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
