Any previous notability for claiming to be 'Britain's Vainest Man' superseded by more recent claimants 'Matt Dunford' or 'Steven Dolan'. Alexander is not "frequently seen in media" as article claims. Internet searches mainly relate to PR for persons buisness ventures. Being a big spender on personal appearance does not make someone a "person of note".

 * Delete Article establishes dubious notability and is clearly written as an advertisement. ♥ Solarra ♥  ♪ Talk ♪  ߷  ♀ Contribs ♀ 11:43, 7 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm the AFD proposer - All I can find out about him is he got some press attention in 2006 as he was one person in a documentary called "Britain's Biggest Spenders" and made fanciful claims such as he was going to buy a village in Bulgaria to name after himself. All the press stories seem to relate to his claims on that one TV show. Someone has written on the Wikipedia article that his "business went bankrupt in 2009" but that doesn't come from a reference source and for the last 7 years the media appear to have had zero interest in him, not what you would expect if this person was "notable".

 * Delete Although this may have been noteable at some point in the past its notability is definetly in question. An issue under notability guidelines so seems a reasonable delete. Amortias (T)(C) 21:44, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability can not be lost, the person has been covered in multiple independent sources and passes WP:GNG. Valoem   talk   contrib  20:17, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
