 * Delete. Fails WP:BIO. Note that there is a lot of padding in the article and I continually had to remove ext link spam by the autor of the page. Another try-hard attempt to use WP for personal gain or glory. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Which criteria of WP:BIO does the topic supposedly fail, as has been asserted in this nomination to remove this article from Wikipedia? WP:BIO is an entire page of notability guidelines with several various criteria. Northamerica1000(talk) 00:46, 25 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Non-NPOV can be rectified through editing the article. What is insufficient about the following links (spoon-fed to you on a silver platter in the References section): "Personal finance: pounds 50m says this is the manager to watch" from The Independent, "Indian joins London's exclusive club of fund managers" from Press Trust of India, and "The chemist who dreamed of alchemy" and "Alchemist who turned gold to dross - and back again?" from The Guardian? And I easily found "Manek prescribes India for double-dip fears" from Reuters. Goodvac (talk) 22:31, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep' The nominator has dealt with this rather obnoxiously. I wrote this article about Mr. Manek, who is notorious in the wider UK investment world (i.e. he's a name known to many) for the utterly abject performance of his fund launched after he won the Sunday Times investing competition two years in a row (which some say he gamed, although I don't have a reliable source on his strategy), Alan Liefting slapped a speedy deletion tag on it within 30 seconds of being created, despite four references including two, four years apart, to a major national newspaper.  After this spurious tag was removed by a third party (goodvac), he tried again with a prod tag.  He has since been edit warring over the inclusion of links to Mr. Manek's funds. He needs to leave this article alone; I'm sure he does useful work deleting other articles, but that's not happening here. Note the utterly ridiculous claim that Wikipedia is being used for personal gain? What? Whose gain? Certainly not mine, I wouldn't touch this fund with a bargepole -as I note ' In the 1, 3, and 10 years to 2 January 2012, Manek Growth was the worst performing fund in its sector'. Speedy close to avoid further time wasting. Suara Gondang (talk) 00:32, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

 * SNOW Keep The references are adequate, and spam is dealt with by removing it. I think nobody but the nom believes that articles contaminated by spam must be invariably deleted, & I can think of no otther reason for deletion.  DGG ( talk ) 01:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Very notable.Pectoretalk 20:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - needs a lede rewrite though. I suggest starting "Jayesh Manek (born 1956 in Uganda)[1] is an UK-resident, Ugandan-born fund manager of Indian descent." Stuartyeates (talk) 08:41, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
