Entirely promotional, comprising a miscellaneous listing of random events. I tried cleaning it up, but in my opinion it's hopeless. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason. Small variations to the notability standard either way do not fundamentally harm the encycopedia, but accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encycopedia DGG ( talk ) 20:03, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I guess he is some kind of business speaker making that spawn of trivial references easily come into existence. Nowhere near the worst WP:SOAPBOX I have seen, but I have to agree for the arguments. Depth of coverage etc. also fail with him. Ceosad (talk) 22:47, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with all entirely as my searches found some links with Highbeam, News and browsers but certainly nothing for a better article yet. SwisterTwister talk 06:25, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not notable. Has COI issues, article is full of PR fluff. Stuff like In April 2014 he hosted an event for the North & Western Chamber of Commerce where Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, Dr Ben Broadbent spoke about the state of the economy. is very unencyclopaedic and is only used to pad out what is effectively a pseudo-independent digital CV.
