The subject of this article does not seem notable to me. I used NewsBank but found nothing. On Google News, I found one source, but that does not establish notability. →Σ τ c. 06:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As I told the editor on IRC, the article as it stood does not establish notability. Beyond that, some of the sources are questionable in terms of reliability. It isn't poorly formatted but there is nothing that makes him obviously notable. --LauraHale (talk) 06:57, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I disagree that the subject of the article is not notable, as much of the activity of the subject is done under the name of the entities he controls, such as Marlin Capital Investments or GRQ Consultants. Searching for recent and notable activity under those two names yields a larger number of results. As an investor in public companies trading in the U.S., the subject benefits from not having his name attached to all of his activity, as his investments and business pursuits could be impacted by being directly associated with him name. As this article has just been created with the last few hours, it would be worthwhile to see if the community is able to produce more verified, reliable, and noteworthy citations for the information posted to this entry. --Drupal498 (talk) 07:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notability looks promising to me, a lot of sources have been added as well. --DST (talk) 11:24, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
