No indication of notability. Sources are either not independent or don't mention the subject. Only one source (The Independent) is more than an in-passing mention, but that is not enough for WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 12:36, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable businessman. Fails WP:ANYBIO due to a lack of significant coverage that actually mentions him (most sources cited only do so in passing, or not at all), and frequent-but-unremarkable success in business does not in itself guarantee inclusion in an encyclopedia. If we divest Bilton's business success from any claims to notability, that leaves his charitable contributions. The article subject is currently on the nominations board of Raven Russia Ltd (a company he co-founded) and started his own charity (The Bilton Charitable Foundation). I doubt either of these lend him any claim to significance.--SamHolt6 (talk) 14:49, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I found the subject to be marginally notability based on coverage in The Independent plus frequent mentions in the tabloids as sombody or other's love interest, [1]. I don't yet have a strong opinion about whether we keep or delete this but I deprodded because there was not an obvious case for deletion here. ~Kvng (talk) 15:39, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
