Page was creaated in January 2009 by an editor who has made no other contributions to Wikipedia. The subject is a businessman, the chief executive of a South African clothing company that is not notable enough to have Wikipedia article, based in a shopping centre that is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. (I know, maybe they just haven't been written yet.) The sources provided are all dead links. A Google search produces nothing of note, just the usual Wikipedia clones, Facebook, directories etc, but no substantive independent references. It's a similar story for the company, Ama Kip Kip, with the addition of commercial sites selling its products. No indication anywhere of notability. Emeraude (talk) 10:38, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The article is also present at User:Bombadigital, so it is presumably an autobiography. Though the firm co-founded by the subject does get a mention in a 100 emerging brands list (on a WP-blacklisted site, so no link here) I am finding no reliable 3rd party sources to indicate that the subject has biographical notability.

 * Delete alas the sources the editor has attempted to use are not persistent URLs, so we can't tell what kind of coverage there was. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
