BLP with no reliable sources cited and no particular claim to encyclopedicity. A cursory Google search reveals nothing that would sustain this biography. PROD contested. FCYTravis 15:19, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong delete No notability, no sources, no verifiability. Possible hoax. AFAIK Bowie's only connection to Persons Unknown is wearing their outfits onstage and extolling their virtues on his website.--Sethacus 16:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom and Sethacus. --Fabrictramp 16:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Non-notability regardless of the job in Sealand. Extra kudos to the nominator for having the courage to use a word like "encyclopedicity" :) --WebHamster 17:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think this guy has spread himself too thin. He's a weapons specialist, a "partner" to David Bowie, and a banker for a micronation. Perhaps if he were to focus on one of his varied interests, and give all of his energies to that, he would finally rise to notability. Or perhaps he could combine his tremendous talents and become the Bowie-boy who's in charge of financing special weapons. They call them the Diamond Dogs! Qworty 20:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with WebHamster, plus if you look up "Sealand", it's a "micro-country" that's like a bizarre analogue of vanity publishing -- population approximately 10, and asserted to belong to the UK. Probably more people read this entry than there are citizens. Accounting4Taste 06:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
