James Riady
delete it's an article about the head of a company, where the company does not even have an article on Wikipedia. CoolGuy 07:15, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 07:32, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. He's a billionaire, and the Lippo Group is a major Indonesian conglomerate, with significant business ventures in China. I think he has better things to do than write entries on Wikipedia. Have you considered googling before listing an article for deletion? Average Earthman 09:31, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I forgot to say - in 2001, he was fined 8.6 million dollars by the US Senate for foreign campaign contributions. Average Earthman 09:36, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Average Earthman. We need to add the company, not delete its head. Mgm|(talk) 12:11, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think all billionaires are notable due to the extreme magnitude of their wealth and their resulting influence. Firebug 18:37, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's now a pretty good stub. We should probably also have an article on Lippo Group. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:58, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very notable, so is the company. N-Mantalk 11:46, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable for influence in both Indonesian and US politics in the 1990s.Capitalistroadster 23:18, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Closure

 * Seems like we have a concensus to keep based on James Riady being a billionaire and head of the Lippo Group. Klonimus 01:05, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
