 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

previously deleted and recreated. Appreciate an admin checking to see if G4 applies. Fails WP:ANYBIO by a country mile. Obvious vanity/possibly UPE article. John from Idegon (talk) 17:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * KEEP He passes WP:GNG with what's in the article now. Forbes  and Bloomberg  both give him significant coverage of how he went from broke to billionaire. Also the fact it was deleted 13 years ago doesn't mean it can't exist today since it now has reliable sources giving him significant coverage.  The AFD at that time mention his company article was up for deletion too and it was also deleted then recreated later when it became notable.   D r e a m Focus  17:52, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Withdrawn perhaps I was a little hasty here. There are patterns that one like me who edits a lot of notable lists sees that indicate UPE and this hit all the check boxes. Still think it is likely UPE, but the guy does appear notable.  Will close.  Smack me with fish at will. John from Idegon (talk) 18:29, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
