The article contains minimal content is the subject is not notable. isfutile:P (talk) 15:26, 7 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep subject is notable, awarded major national award - viz: Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion.
 * ...and WP:TROUT user for creating 8 similar AfD's in 7 minutes, clearly without applying WP:BEFORE.
 * All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 17:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC).


 * Comment The Keep comment does not respond to the lack of significant third party coverage raised in the AfD. Also, the comment above breaches WP:NPA and is not constructive. The articles submitted to AfD were detailed in another AfD https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nicholas_Bowen&oldid=686191498, by user User:NewYorkActuary due to the similarities in terms of lack of significant third party coverage. Perhaps the article author could attach sources which demonstrate significant third party coverage to satisfy notability. isfutile:P (talk) 17:47, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Google turns up plenty of ref content. Szzuk (talk) 15:19, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Where? I can't find any reliable third party sources.isfutile:P (talk) 16:10, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. Receiving the award confers some notability, but the operative guideline here are WP:BLP1E and WP:NOPAGE.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 07:46, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to award - lack of good coverage and the award doesn't mean probable notability. In a similar AfD, some found the award to be good enough, others didn't, that closed as no consensus so it's not really a strong reason for keeping. Other nominations haven't been speedy keep'd simply because of the award so they seem perfectly reasonable. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 17:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Recently added sourced information on his research from The Guardian. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:27, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. does not meet WP:PROF (or the GNG) The Guardian item is a blog posting.  DGG ( talk ) 04:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There's rather a difference between a blog on blogspot and a blog in a national newspaper; I would regard the latter as the digital media equivalent of a column.--Andreas Philopater (talk) 06:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
