The article contains minimal content. The subject does not pass notability. The References only make passing mention of the article subject and do not infer notability directly upon the article subject. There does not appear to be wide third party coverage of this individual. isfutile:P (talk) 15:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep subject is notable, awarded major national award - viz: Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion.

...and WP:TROUT nominator for creating 8 similar AfD's in 7 minutes, clearly without applying WP:BEFORE.

• Comment The Keep comment does not respond to the lack of significant third party coverage raised in the AfD. Also, the comment above breaches WP:NPA and is not constructive. The articles submitted to AfD were detailed in another AfD https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nicholas_Bowen&oldid=686191498, by user User:NewYorkActuary due to the similarities in terms of lack of significant third party coverage. Perhaps the article author could attach sources which demonstrate significant third party coverage to satisfy notability. isfutile:P (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to award - lack of good coverage and the award doesn't mean probable notability. In a similar AfD, some found the award to be good enough, others didn't, that closed as no consensus so it's not really a strong reason for keeping. Other nominations haven't been speedy keep'd simply because of the award so they seem perfectly reasonable. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 16:34, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've added a couple of newly sourced details. I'm not fully convinced the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion is prima facie indication of notability, but it certainly adds to the mix. There are 10 awarded each year, with 1 lifetime achievement award (which I would definitely take as establishing notability). --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:05, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
