Speed Keep. 2 solid refs, one from the BBC and one from Guernsey financial regulator. Szzuk (talk) 15:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - multiple independent, reliable secondary sources, easily satisfying the general WP:PERSON requirements. Easy enough just to add another reference now for a little more detail, and there was an enormous amount in the references that hasn't been used - not difficult to expand once retained.

Delete - the existing references are insufficient to support biographic notability. I note the subject quoted in online sources, but nothing that indicates that the individual is particularly notable.--Rpclod (talk) 17:58, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Although mentioned in reputable sources, there's no indication of encyclopaedic notability independent of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission or his former employers. Eloquai (talk) 00:11, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being competent in one's job does not convey notability. David notMD (talk) 12:01, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
