WP:BLP of a socialite and entrepreneur, making no substantive claim of notability for either title — as written, this article just asserts that he exists, and then turns straight into a WP:COATRACK for his family genealogy instead of adding any substance to clarify why his existence would warrant the attention of an encyclopedia as of yet. And the volume of sourcing present isn't enough to get him over WP:GNG, either: once you exclude the user-generated referencing for the genealogy, two of the three remaining sources are local community publications of the type that would be acceptable for supplementary confirmation of facts after an article had already passed GNG, but are not widely distributed enough to be the GNG, and the one remaining source that is fully satisfactory toward the passage of GNG isn't substantive enough to get him over GNG by itself as the only GNG-compliant source.

• Keep Passes the GNG. Article's main problem is that it's a stub. Neonchameleon (talk) 12:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
