Doesn't appear to have any notability outside their connection with the Surfside condominium collapse. I would have simply redirected there, but the article creator, in their initial edit summary said, "for the record, I understand if anyone has WP:BLP1E concerns about this one. I wouldn't oppose testing it at AfD". Appears to be a case of WP:BIO1E. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. He did get an obituary in Miami Herald in 2015: [1]. Not seeing anything else outside the new coverage related to the accident, but it does invalidate the nom concerns, I think. PS. As for the proper vote, I am on the fence. Without the obit I'd lean towards delete, with it I think this is very borderline.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think he was notable as a real estate developer even before the building collapsed. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:22, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Years before the Florida incident, there was also reporting of his resignation from the Law Society of Upper Canada (presumably knowing he would be disbarred otherwise), and a decade later his tax fines. I added references to the article. Nfitz (talk) 19:46, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - As User:onel5969 noted; I created this page knowing the argument for notability was pretty marginal. I think it's reasonable to call this article WP:BIO1E or WP:RECENTISM. That said, this guy does seem to have been linked to several marginally notably events and strung together, they might make him meet WP:GNG. For the record, I thought it was interesting that the Surfside Condo building was built by this colorful and vaguely criminal character. I was a bit curious whether there might be some linkage between the character and the collapse. Having learned more about the incident since I started this article, I'm guessing the collapse won't ultimately be blamed on malconstruction or by extension Reiber.

Keep he had an obituary and was mentioned in the news before the collapse, I see enough GNG even before the collapse. --hroest 16:01, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
