 * Merge to Benetton family. Obviously notable family name, connected to a well known consumer brand.  Individual is notable chiefly for his relationship to the family business. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep'   senior vice president of JP Morgan Chase is notable, and probably as important as his n role in  the "family business,"  DGG ( talk ) 01:20, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No please lets not keep this. I can't find any coverage in reliable sources. He's not turning up on JP Morgan's website. Not only does this lack significant coverage in reliable sources, which is the test that a biography ought to pass. It appears to lack any verification whatsoever. The closest I can some is that someone with his name appears to have worked for Deutsche Bank. For all we know this article could be a hoax. Keeping totally unverified biographical material is a total policy fail. Please, to the commenters above, have whatever subjective views of notability that you like - I'm not at all uncomfortable with the view that senior business figures are notable - but can we at least have due regard to WP:V? --Mkativerata (talk) 01:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Only sources I could find were mirrors. Wont oppose recreation at later date if refs appear. the rest per the prev. user. Outback the koala (talk) 04:28, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless some verification can be found, I'm with Mkativerata.  In some quick searching, I find that neither the Benetton article nor the Forbes listing from which it's sourced even mention "Stephen" as one of Giuliana's children; I find no evidence that a Benetton ever married a Rockefeller; and for that matter I find no independent evidence of the existence of any "William Whitney Rockefeller".  At the moment, I lean toward guessing that this is a long-lived hoax, although I certainly stand ready to be disabused of this hunch. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
