Declined speedy, is CEO and chairman of several companies, which could mean he's notable, or at least a worthy merge target. 'Procedural nomination Mgm|(talk) 11:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Odd, he's mentioned in a news article and a Google Book search turned up two sources that definitively mention him. He doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:ORG though, so I still have to vote delete. DARTH PANDAduel 12:41, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete just falls over into the non-notable side of the bit bucket. Pegasus «C¦T» 15:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete falls short of notability. DENNIS BROWN (T) (C) 16:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Changed to keep based on the sources that ChildofMidnight dug up, and reading them indicates that other sources are very likely to be found. Now he just needs to put a couple in the article. DENNIS BROWN (T) (C) 01:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep I found him discussed in a lot of places. Seems to be a major player in finance. 1[1], 2[2], 3[3] Those were just the first few sources discussin him and his investment activities. But he seems to be quite prominent. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Quite prominent?? Ok, one of those is a good source, the other mentions him in passing (talking about the company and mentioning him), the other isn't really independent. (not junk, just not independent). You confident that passes WP:GNG or is there some other criteria I am unaware of? Even *if* he passed, 'strong'? DENNIS BROWN (T) (C) 00:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the article needs to be expanded and improved. But I think his prominence makes a strong keep reasonable. He's an international player in high finance doing big time investment deals. He also appears to be prominent in SIngapore having held government positions and serving on various boards and such. Do you want me to hunt for even better references? I thought those were adequate to establish his notability per the usual criteria. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:40, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
