The result was no consensus. Basically it boils down to meeting the general notability guideline versus a more common sense rationale that this halfway rich person isn't notable per the given sources. No rough consensus for either occurred. MuZemike 20:45, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

British investment banker/money manager. Notable only for being wealthy. Prod declined, with the reasoning "₤140 million is enough--the Times coverage shows the notability". But the link to the Times is simply an entry on a list of wealthiest people in Britain, not an article. And what's more, the list shows him as the 388th richest person in Britain. That hardly makes him notable: having a fat wallet alone doesn't make you encyclopedia material.

There's two bits of actual coverage, but they're from peripheral news services and may in fact be press releases. And they announce him filling less than senior positions.

 * Keep Since he is worth that much, there should be references. nd there are ,55 in Google News archive alone. Some, but by no means all , are press releases.    DGG ( talk ) 00:13, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There are references, I'm just not convinced they establish notability. As for "388th richest person in Britain," who cares? Hairhorn (talk) 01:46, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep The size of his bank account doesn't evidence notability in iteslf, but there is some discussion of him in der Standard which gives the evidence needed.  Them  From  Space  01:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I just did a quick tidy of the article to make it more specific and remove peacock terms; now that that's done it comes across to me as little more than a vanity page / online resume. His notability's not established by anything currently included in the article; if anyone changes it so as to show that notability let me know and I'll reconsider my vote. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Reads more like a resume, as noted above. Being the 388th richest person in Britian isn't an adequate claim to notability. ƒ(Δ)² 08:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
