[edit] Robert Diamond

Vanity page. Seems to be copied from his corporate bio. Chuck 18:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC) Ooops, looks like the entry didn't tell the whole story. He is no longer just CEO of a division, but is now President and member of the Board of Directors of the parent. Two different things IMHO. Keep

  • Keep The CEO of a major financial firm seems notable to me. This page needs to be cleaned up and wikified, but that is not aloen a reason to delete. I couldn't find any page this seemed to be taken from on a quick google search, if this is a simple cut&paste of an online corporate bio, it should be tagged with {{copyvio}} and dealt with accordingly.

    • Comment Didn't think it was necessarily copyvio from online source, only that it was evidence of vanity page. Chuck 20:44, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, I think that being a CEO of Barclays Capital is good enough. I couldn't find a copyvio, either. -Splash 19:58, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. According to this [1], on May 27, 2005 he was promoted to President of Barclay's with an annual compensation of $28 million. DS1953 20:23, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable businessman. Capitalistroadster 02:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep The head of the largest investment management business in the world (according to our own Barclays Global Investors article, though I thought Fidelity was), and possibly the highest paid executive in the UK. 82.35.34.11 03:14, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
