It is clear that there is no notability here. There has been a notability notice on this page for more than a decade and looking at its edit history, it seems that the page was created by Pell or someone connected to him. There are loads of issues with referencing issues as well. If notability can’t be credibly established after a decade, it’s not going to be established and as such probably doesn’t deserve his own article. Geelongite (talk) 03:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability, and reads like a corporate bio. Nick-D (talk) 04:05, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete based on current sourcing (the point about the decade of no improvement in this area being well taken). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not LinkedIn. I guess I was overly optimitic in my last edit in suggesting we quickly respond to undersourced articles on businessmen. We really need to go to requiring that every article goes through the article for creation article. We do not let people unilateraaly delete articles without at least giving some notice, we should not allow for the unilateral creation of articles either. At least we no longer allow for unregistered user to create articles. That said, I am one of those people who feel that our failure to require editors to use their real names is another major draw back to Wikipedia. Some say "we do not want minors using their real names", I say "we do not want minors creating articles on Wikipedia either."John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:08, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
