no actual evidence for notability; relatively minor businessman  DGG ( talk ) 03:50, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Notable company founder, political donor and philanthropist. However, the article needs to be expanded, by using the 'external links' and other articles as in-line references. It would've been better if the page creator had started a draft and then moved it to mainspace once the initial work of using the weblinks to add content had been done...Zigzig20s (talk) 04:16, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Easily meets the GNG. Surprised by DGG's suggestion that Ritblat is relatively minor, I don't think that's so, or at least not anymore. In 2011 he partnered with the Qatari ruling family to buy the Olympic Village from the London 2012 Olympics in a deal that received wide media attention. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:31, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG. Nomination fails to cite specific flaws and any relevant policy. What does "relatively minor businessman" actually mean? Edwardx (talk) 11:06, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG. Thanks to User:Philafrenzy for excellent sourcing work.  User:DGG is vigilant about bouncing self-promotion.  Since they spring up like weeds, he is doing yeoman's service with his AFDs on wannabes of all kinds. But sometimes he moves too fast.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:00, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
