 * Speedy keep. Exactly zero substantive argument supporting deletion. That Wikipedia has a determined cadre of editors who believe that business, finance and economics do not merit as detailed or comprehensive coverage as professional wrestling, reality television, and Youtube "influencers"/exhibitionists is both undeniable and utterly deplorable. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.  Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 23:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please reference WP:GNG. As for the rest of your rant, see WP:OTHERSTUFF. KidAd (talk) 00:08, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And still no substantive argument, just ad hominem blather. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.  Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 03:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Where was the policy you cited for your Speedy Keep? I'll wait. KidAd (talk) 03:35, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete the sources here do not add up to passing the general notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Lots of sources but they don't qualify as in-depth, independent, and reliable. Glendoremus (talk) 19:28, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment It would be odd to delete this page as he is a well known notable businessman, I have found this page useful in the past and would find it odd if he lost his page.

 * Redirect to Houlihan Lokey, as all the media coverage seems to be about the company rather than him. The page is a near-orphan and as an individual, he fails WP: NOTLINKEDIN. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:16, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with Houlihan Lokey. The subject himself fails GNG as not being mentioned outside a few business journals. Most of the article reflects his activity at the company anyway, so anything worth saving should be merged there and the rest discarded. StonyBrook (talk) 00:26, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
