Delete Article subject is a successful businessman, but the sources do not show encyclopedic notability. Mentions of awards for the hotel do not tranfer to the proprietor. I can see a case for the hotel having an article, but even that may be a stretch. Notability is not inherited, and subject does not meet WP:GNG alone. Scr★pIron^IV 19:30, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
