George Brooksbank (business executive)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

non-notable as a businessperson, and, I think, as a cricketeer. Head of a small investment company--the usual level at which these have substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices   is about $1 billion assets under management--but his firm have GBP 70 million. The references are entirely notices about property purchases and financing.or profiles based on self-reported information.  DGG ( talk ) 06:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Lots of coverage of him spending weeks in hospital because of COVID-19, in part because he has a famous daughter-in-law. Town & Country is a reliable source, I think, even though it refers to him as an accountant rather than a real estate investor. The year of birth in the article may be wrong; this article says he was 68 in 2018, which would mean a birth year of approximately 1950, not 1981.

 * There are two George Brooksbanks. Princess' father-in-law was born in 1949, this George Brooksbanks was born in 1981 (see pic https://www.themarque.com/profile/george-brooksbank). I deleted wrong information and links.-GorgonaJS (talk) 01:21, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per nomination. Sadly, spending weeks in hospital with COVID-19 is not that uncommon and therefore has little weight regarding notability. MrsSnoozyTurtle 10:47, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Neutral. I was confused by the second person with the same name. Perhaps move to the person's company, which seems to have attracted some coverage. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as he has played cricket for county club Hertfordshire and played for prestigious club Marylebone Cricket Club (and went to Argentina tour for the club). Piers Armstrong (talk) 23:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - tricky, but seems to pass WP:GNG when we combine his cricketing career with current coverage. Some sources I found in a quick search,, , , . 80.1.27.141 (talk) 11:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
