Fails WP:BIO. A hedge fund manager who was profiled in a book. Also profiles in financial pages, but unknown outside the financial community. Simply non notable. scope_creep 21:21, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep @Scope creep: The nominator's rationale is not in line with WP:GNG. Unknown outside the financial community is not a valid reason for deletion, since wikipedia features of general and specialized encyclopedias. Otherwise Vitamin B12 total synthesis would be non-notable for it's unknown outside the chemists' community. Lots of sources can be found through a google book search.([1])--180.172.239.231 (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - bit like saying Mark Webber is only notable within the motor-sport community or Jim Parsons' notability is limited to television audiences. Significant coverage is significant coverage. St★lwart¹¹¹ 12:53, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep - There are close to six million people in the United States who work in finance and insurance. About 1 million people in the UK work in finance and audit. Why would you consider a well-known finance person obscure, but not a NASCAR driver like Jimmie Johnson (not well known outside of racing) or a biologist like E.O. Wilson (whom I greatly admire--but he is not well known out of naturalist circles)? • Johnnysakko — Preceding undated comment added 11:35, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
