Was BLPPRODed and a couple of links were adde. However these are not the kind of links that provide any notability. Ghits only provide social media. Fails WP:GNG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:35, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I am not sure I understand..."Ghits"?....(BBC, The Sun Newspaper and The Star) All authority sites and there are countless examples of Wiki pages with these references have been deemed suitable? Can you elaborate as to where it fails WP:GNG — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.88.162.220 (talk) 03:10, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Please see WP:RS. Ghits are Google returns to a search. In this day and age, it's generally (there are exceptions) considered by Wikipedia than any living person of serious note will have notable, in-depth, dedicated articles about them in the quality nationa press rather than redtops. The sources should be verifiable - the BBC source is not. This person might be a millionaire and he might be well known for throwing money about, but notability criteria for Wikipedia are not fulfilled. And please sign your posts and place them correctly.

Delete. Few mentions in passing, niche media - does not seem to pass WP:BIO and like. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:22, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- WP:ADVOCACY, with trivial content such as "Bally purchased a nightclub and two bars in 2002..." Also note the use of the first name, which is a strong indicator of an article that has been created by someone close to the subject. Overall, no value to the project.
