John Weinberg
Another article submitted as an obit. A worthwhile career with a number of achievements but none sufficient to meet WP:BIO. Delete. BlueValour 03:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep He was chairman of the management committee of Goldman Sachs, "one of the world's most prestigous global investment banks," for fourteen years . I've added that citation to the article as well. -Elmer Clark 06:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: investment banker and chairman/senior partner in a leading firm, director of several important corporations, and a trustee of Princeton University and a large university hospital in NY, has endowed and given his name to an academic research center at the University of Delaware. Google also discovers a "John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy" at Princeton University. He seems to have been considered important in the real world, outside Wikipedia. up+l+and 07:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the University position was one that he endowed not one he held. BlueValour 08:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That was my point (as should be clear from the punctuation).up+l+and 12:45, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep - nomination withdrawn - the fact that he chaired the Goldman Sachs management committee is enough. Also, I have cleaned up the article. BlueValour 08:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
