Article proves subject is a real human, but not that he is notable. References are almost entirely to amazon.com showing he authored some tax books, as well as articles on his personal website. A Google News search finds only one RS (Daily Telegraph) which contains only a quote from him and no biographical information; other references discovered are non-RS (Daily Mail).

 * Keep Notable through authorship and recognised expertise on UK tax law; Tolleys is a reputable guide (one of main reference works) and subject has authored and edited its reference works on property taxes over a long period. Further RSs added since creation. Marktristan (talk) 08:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
