Biography of a businessman, containing no substantive or sourced information about his career to suggest that he passes Wikipedia's inclusion rules for it — all that the article, as written, actually says or sources about him is the simple fact of his death. I'd be happy to withdraw this if some actual substance can be added to make the article longer than three sentences, but "Subject is a person who lived and died, the end" does not constitute a keepable Wikipedia article in and of itself. Delete unless improvement can be shown. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article as it stands, although based on the most local level of coverage that the BBC produces, is fully verified by it. I am therefore somewhat bemused that the nominator either seems not to have looked to see if there were less local sources available, or not found ones, over several years, discoverable through a standard GNews search. My one reason, given these (and more) sources, for not !voting Keep is that, seeing that they all primarily relate either to a lengthy and bitter divorce dispute or to the circumstances of his death, I am not sure how easy it will be to achieve a properly WP:NPOV article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE. I'd like to see the stub fixed up to WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment -- If true, an individual worth £400M probably ought to be notable. The problem is that we have nothing on his life, only his rather lurid death.  Unless this can be expanded beyond being a stub relating to his death, it ought to be deleted.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:07, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
