I added a PROD tag to this article as there had only been one contributor to this article on a non notable accountant who had tried and failed to become the Conservative candidate for London Mayor. The PROD tag was immediately removed by an anonymous editor. There are no independent third party refs and I can see no reason for retention. Paste Talk 11:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless some reliable, third party sources can be found. I have done a quick Google search and the name does come up a lot on various news media web pages, but in all cases I have encountered so far these are comments by Frew about the articles and are comparable to forum/blog posts. Given the subject's skills as a self-publicist, it may be a reasonable assumption that the author of this article is linked to the subject in some way.

- The author of the article later confirmed that he is Robert Frew (see this dif). Road Wizard (talk) 14:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
