[edit] Prod nomination

I'm going to remove the proposed deletion tag from this article. The article obviously can be vastly improved, but I don't have the time to do that right now, and I believe that it already asserts notability of the subject. He's responsible for the construction of numerous developments, including large shopping malls and skyscrapers, and he used to own a major league baseball team. If you still feel that this person doesn't meet the notability guidelines, please take it to AFD. - EurekaLott 18:15, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm happy to leav the article for the time being, provided notablity can be established (although I musthave skimmed earlier, as ownership of a major sporting team is no doubt notable). Just as a matter of pedantry, {{prod}} is for when notability is not yet established - {{speedy}} is used when none is asserted or claimed. - Tiswas^(t) 18:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
