Being a filthy rich member of the English peerage does not necessarily make a person notable; many such creatures understanably maintain a very low profile. TheLongTone (talk) 15:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC) Comment : RETAIN. As well as the above by Darkieboy, Sam Smith's Brewery is a substantial employer throughout the UK. All new, and most of the existing bar staff, excluding managers, are on minimum wage and zero hours contracts. Indeed, must have been at the forefront of this zero hour movement. Such people should not be able to hide behind anonymity. You would not delete other people / companies guilty of such and other immoral practices. He is also of interest to many Sam Smith's customers / fans, he is also one of the country's wealthiest individuals and as such is the subject of interest to those who find Rich Lists etc. interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 6 Cylinders And Overdrive (talk • contribs) 21:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. He's not a member of the peerage! -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:06, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Has no title, no significant coverage in reliable sources and no evidence of notability. Tiller54 (talk) 22:09, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Retain. He's the owner of one of the country's largest independent breweries, large land and property-owner and is notorious in the Yorkshire media and beyond for his business practices. I will be adding further details to this entry in the coming days. Darkieboy236 (talk) 11:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC)


 * If the notoriety is real...ie can be properly referenced, fair enough. There's nowt about that in the article. Otherwise, just another fat cat... many of whom are unpleasant. Sort of comes with the territory.TheLongTone (talk) 15:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: Still Retain: Suggest a browse of The Sam Smith's Forum. And he's hardly a typical fat cat - he is often referred to as the opposite regarding his dress standards. He is the owner of many derelict properties which are eyesores in our communities. And despite providing a cheap pint for the working man, no longer supports local events or charities. I suggest you see one of latest posts in the forum where he has ordered the covering up of a mural supporting our troops - today is Remembrance Day. 6 Cylinders And Overdrive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 6 Cylinders And Overdrive (talk • contribs) 16:35, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now as I see no better improvement and thus nothing to suggest keeping. SwisterTwister   talk  07:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
