Very Weak Delete. Argument for keep is this report from Wall Street Journal on the firm he founded: "Man Group PLC, already one of the world's biggest hedge fund managers, said it agreed to buy Swiss rival RMF Investment Group for $833 million (€899.3 million) in a deal that will nearly double its size."[1] So that is impressive. Due to language barrier and not being acquainted with foreign publications/websites, I could not confirm his notability though.

Keep Similar to Knox490, language problem; but I think he is notable enough. The article needs a little workuo, but it should not be deleted. —usernamekiran[talk] 09:14, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep RMF fund is significant, and he's been active in M&A since. e.g. in the last month he received quite a bit of coverage (including English, but local swiis as well) for the Leonteq stake he acquired.Icewhiz (talk) 11:02, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment The RMF fund isn't him, and notability is not inherited. scope_creep (talk) 23:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- seems to be a significant player, here's sample coverage that provides some bio details: "Hedge fund pioneer", "Hedge-Fund-Wunderkind", etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:50, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. References in the article indicate notability, and the ones that K.e.coffman supplied above helps prove notability. It needs a bit of work on the prose-side, but AfD ain't cleanup so that can be done some other time.Anarchyte (work | talk) 14:26, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
