Could not find really any RS that was specifically on this subject as a topic (e.g. no WP:SIGCOV); all I find are PR Newswire/Reuters-type releases on him as CEO of his firm Prospect Capital (which is slightly more notable), and some mentions of donations by his family foundation. No material RS wants to cover him as a dedicated subject (e.g. no Wall Street Journal profile/bio, which is a core part of any Wall Street BLP in my view), so why should Wikipedia? Possibly a Redirect to his firm Prospect Capital Management instead? Britishfinance (talk) 19:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. I just notice that his firm's WP article Prospect Capital Management, was also just created by the same relatively new editor, who despite having just 16 edits, was able to write this entire article in one go and publish it without any other edits. Precocious talent. Britishfinance (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Apologies if this did not meet the notability standards. I was doing a research project on the company Prospect Capital Management and its CEO and wanted to try publishing it. I just took the templates from other similar topics and edited them to properly fit. The CEO may not fit the notability standards but does the company at least?.

 * Thanks ; there goes 's "research project" story. 's WP:UPE tag on both articles (BLP and Company) was correct. Britishfinance (talk) 20:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I already created an SPI for and the sockpuppeteer User:ProspectCapital. Should be open and shut and both articles can be speedy deleted and probably should also be WP:SALTed. Best, GPL93 (talk) 20:31, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - yet another person who thinks they can hire somebody to abuse a Charity by hikjacking us as a webhost to make him more money. This is a very run of the mill vulture capitalist "alternative asset management" specialist. We don't have to assume good faith when there is clear and convincing evidence. Goodbye.
