Entrepreneur. Does business things, but I don't see in-depth coverage about him specifically that passes WP:GNG. Coverage appears mostly to be about his business, which was found to be non-notable at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Record360. Article is also promotional in tone.

• Keep: Skinner is the owner of a professional sports team that will be televised nationally. This is notable. ColoradoHunter (talk) 00:36 16 February 2018 (UTC) — ColoradoHunter (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Comment: ColoradoHunter only contributions to Wikipedia are Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Record360 and this, likely a clear connection with the subject. If the user wants to argue his main contribution is to do with sports team ownership, the article needs to be reworked as such. Also, Tech.co is not a respected source so the top 10 list they published has no merit. Pilot333 (talk) 03:16, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you're going to comment on me, do so honestly. Don't create a false narrative to support your point. It's shameful to do so and lacks integrity, which should undermine any and all comments and contributions you make. I've made numerous entries and edits. The decision on Record360 is still very fresh and adequate time is needed to adjust the entry. Additionally, Pilot333 has no entries before today and he only comments where the tide of comments has been pretty well established. I have to wonder if he is a shill for a competitor. His comments should be taken with a grain of salt.ColoradoHunter (talk) 04:13 19 February 2018 (UTC)
    • Delete: The above mention of competition and paranoia makes me wonder about a WP:COI between the original creator and the subject. I don't own a competing major league sports team, believe me. Pilot333 (talk) 21:12, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - as mentioned, his company article failed WP:GNG. The rugby league is new so maybe WP:TOOSOON, but if the rugby team ownership is the main remaining source of Mr. Skinner's notability, then standard operating procedure is to just mention him in the team's article, at least until there's more coverage of him personally.

• Delete does not appear notable except for his business interests, and notability is not inherited. SportingFlyer (talk) 03:10, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - as mentioned above, owning a Rugby team is not something that justifies a wikipedia page! He should be mentioned on the team site. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. Not a lot of coverage about Skinner's own notability. TimTempleton has it right; if the team gets its own article and that is all that Skinner is notable for, he only needs mention there and not an article himself. Red Phoenix ^talk 00:27, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
