Non-notable person with biographical references. Article and references does not indicate notability. Preferably redirect to Reiss (brand) if possible. E Wing (talk) 05:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NW ( Talk ) 15:39, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Definitely notable as shown in the article as this cited statement shows; the last big owner-founder entrepreneur left in British retail. I have converted the inline html references to inline citations. There are plenty more references to be found using Google News or Nexis that assert his notability from RS such as the Times, Telegraph, Independent and industry magazines. The blog by his nephew is a dubious source but as it is used for non controversial family history probably acceptable.  I cam across this on new article patrol and am frankly baffled as to why it has been nominated here as the sources were already in the article. It could do with more work to improve the style but there should be no question of deletion. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:09, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
