I was advised by Bearian to send this to AfD rather than proposed deletion on my talk page due to it being controversial. My rationale, which I stand by, is "Almost entirely negative NPOV-violating BLP. Newspapers are generally accepted as being unacceptable sources for BLPs and this relies almost completely on them, save for: one Amazon reference; one Government website; his website. I say we bin this per WP:TNT." Laun chba ller 20:25, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am unsure, but I am glad that we'll have a chance to look at this. It does look like a bit of a hatchet job. However, the sources look good: BBC, national newspapers, etc. Bearian (talk) 20:53, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's been the subject of coverage in a specific BBC program, "The second programme in the Notorious series which lifts the lid on four of Britain's most controversial entreprenuers" and no end of newspaper coverage. "Almost entirely negative" is no reason to delete, and this article seems to source every claim it makes. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:12, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I agree that the article reads a bit negatively, however it is well sourced and makes no false claims. Any part of the article can be re-evaluated to either be kept or removed, but the subject as a whole is relevant and well sourced and should not be deleted. - -Taketa (talk) 10:36, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article isn't NPOV, it says he's unsavoury because he is. Perhaps he should do some charity work and redress the balance!!! Szzuk (talk) 14:27, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
