[edit] Jeff Berwick

In my opinion this guy is just another businessman and not a suficiently notable one to need an article. The page is an orphan and the company he founded doesn't have a Wikipedia article. The story about the boating accident hardly seems to have caused a media sensation apart from a quick mention in local papers - a Google search returned 2 pages of links, of which this one was the only place the incident was still mentioned. There's so many businessmen and so many people who sink their boat that it needs more than that to merit an article. Spondoolicks 12:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete based on Spondoolicks' reasoning. Berwick may be verifiable, but his encyclopedicness is questionable. Johnleemk | Talk 12:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as A7 See also : Wikipedia: Criteria for inclusion of biographies JoJan 15:30, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• This is not a speedy as there are assertions of notability such as founding a company. Given that there are 675 Google hits for "Jeff Berwick" none indicating notability see [1].
