I originally PROD'ed, but the article creator rejected it. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO. There is no indication of notability whatsoever. The only claim of significance is winning "Top-performing Broker award in the Mortgage Intelligence Awards", but that is an insignificant/unknown award.

Weak keep - I worked on the article to see what of it I could find sources for - about 1/2 of the article and a good chunk of his career info went to the talk page because I could not find reliable secondary sources for the information. I do see that there is a Telegraph article, Finally: lifeline for self-employed on mortgages, a mention of nomination for the Barlay Prize, and 32 news articles, which seem to be about his mortgage business.

This is not a strong case for WP:GNG, and it was very likely started for promotional reasons, but because he seems to have either been a pioneer in contractor mortgages, or at least a leading force, I say "weak keep". I think that there is enough out there to expand the article from the news items I identified. Someone may also find some content that could be used on the web, but it would take some serious hunting as a lot of these are sources that could not be used (e.g., primary sources (on a number of websites or as author), social media, blog, etc.). If there is near consensus for "delete" based on additional votes, and I'm the only hold out, please let me know.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:28, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article is an orphan, and I don't see any other articles that mention him. So, the only present opportunities I see to link him from other articles is if someone created an article about Telular (which could be linked to from this article and 2 others) and to add something to an article about mortgages about contractor mortgages with info about him.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:46, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
