Gitanshu Buch
Not notable person, no press coverage 62.189.241.185 05:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Moved this nom from the talk page for anonymous user. My verdict is Delete per Articles for deletion/Steve Wisdom. A "legendary" trader should have more news articles on his name. Zero on Lexis-Nexis, incl. Business/Finance news. ~ trialsanderrors 06:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep This article should not be deleted, he is a hedge fund manager, who keeps quite a low profile.  He is responsible for the returns of the top performing Hedge Fund in the USA, Manchester Trading, which won a MAR Hedge award in 2006, for its last three years of performance, which Buch was responsable with along with Victor Niederhoffer.  He has recently started his own firm, and it is likley that he will have more press coverage going forward.

The article also makes sense as a link from the Niederhoffer page as a prominent ex trader at that firm.

On top of all of this he developed a widely used market indicator the heatmap which can be found on almost all finance websites. ~ Daviegold 13:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep He is mentioned in two finance books written in the last 3 yrs as per Amazon.com, and in numerous articles on Moneycentral.com.  No reason for this to be up for deletion.  Jimbo68 14:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to exist all right but getting a few mentions and <30 Ghits isn't notability.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  23:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Writers of the article failed to source properly, listing news articles, websites etc.
 * Keep A lot of work is needed on this piece, but his name gets 2000 hits on Google, I'm guessing its not a common name so all are prob attributable to him.  81.154.180.39 10:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
