Dominic Robert Andrew Johnson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. Founder of an investment fund of no apparent note, and a minor local politician. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment A version of this article has been maintained for several years at User:Edwardmillerwiki/DominicJohnson where it has been managed by various accounts, most recently the new WP:SPA which submitted this article. A previous submission into article mainspace as Dominic R. A. Johnson was speedy-deleted in Feb 2011. AllyD (talk) 18:18, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete It isn't clear whether this is the same Dominic Johnson who unsuccessfully contested Derbyshire North East in 2005, but without or without that, his position as a local councillor does not demonstrate that he is "a prominent figure in British politics", nor meet WP:POLITICIAN. That leaves the question of notability to his business career: several primary pieces are included in the External Links, but I am not finding anything that amounts to in-depth coverage of the subject.

 * Delete -- NN: I think the notability of a company needs to be established before its CEO can be notable. Getting articles into the press is not notable either.  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:52, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- There were issues with accessibility for the previous page kept by user EdwardMiller thus I created this new page - partly because the user which created it had their name before the subject of the piece. I did try to delete the old page but to no avail so any advice here would be most useful. With regards to the notability of Dominic Johnson he is the CEO of one of the fastest growing asset management companies in the UK but also on the board of the New City Intiative and Treasurer for the Conservative Party. Surely we should a) Be supporting entrepreneurship, which this individual embodies, and b) support the growth of small companies, especially within financial services which is so dominated by behemoths? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvpars (talk • contribs) — Lvpars (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep -- This is a good point with regards to evidence though - a page should be created for Somerset Capital Management LLP if it is not already in existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvpars (talk • contribs)
 * One !vote per user, please. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:56, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- If he is prominent enough to have a profile in the Financial Times surely he is prominent enough to have a Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicerule (talk • contribs) 15:14, 24 October 2013 (UTC)  — Alicerule (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment He is a contributor to FT, and so has likely posted a profile of himself there. That is not the same as FT profiling a prominent figure in the financial industry.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:26, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
