[edit] Guy Hands

An anonymous businessman, about whom nothing notable is claimed. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. "Made a fortune" is a claim of notability. Go onto the company's page and you will find Mr Hands' photo and bio. However, I question whether being the CEO of a midsized UK capital-investment firm is enough to establish notability. - Sensor 13:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

  I thought about the "made a fortune", but it's too vague, and is applied to countless people in business. Good grief, most of them only have to work for a year with their normal salary to get what I'd consider a fortune... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Numerous articles confirm he is a major financial player in Europe. --JJay 15:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

  Could you give some links? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Google gives 42,000 hits. Some examples- Business Week profile [[1]], Launch of Hotel Chain [[2]], Purchase of cinema chain [[3]], Bid for Northgate [[4]], Etc. --JJay 16:14, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. "news.bbc.co.uk" alone returns 23 hits for ""Guy Hands" Nomura" [5] and 6 for ""Guy Hands" "Terra Firma"" [6]. --Edcolins 16:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Notable UK businessman. 38,600 hits for this guy see [7]. On the first page of the search, there are a number of articles from the mainstream media so he meets WP:V, WP:BIO and WP:CORP. Should WP:CORP be expanded to deal with biographies of businesspeople as WP:MUSIC does with musicians. Capitalistroadster 19:08, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
