All of the sources for this article are press releases. I don't see how he is notable at all -- there are many people who are executives at hedge funds and/or investment firms, and there are no sources available that distinguish Mr. Williams from the rest.

There are a few other executives at PAAMCO who have articles as well and I intend to check out their articles as well. ArglebargleIV (talk) 20:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Sources in article not nearly enough. He does have some coverage (quoted in Reuters in 2011, 1-2 Bloomberg pieces (appointment)) - but not nearly enough. Note his name is shared with a cricketer with many more mentions (1000+ google-news) - filtering down with "hedge fund" or "paamco" leaves very few hits.Icewhiz (talk) 06:55, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
