I'm unconvinced that this (admittedly rather unsavoury) character is actually notable other than for his behaviour during the road accident that catapulted him into the headlines. Being an unpleasant human being isn't, as far as I'm aware, part of WP:BIO, and this veers towards WP:BLP1E. Your mileage may vary, obviously. Black Kite (talk) 23:54, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A biography of one outrageous, tragic but all-too-common event. The biographical depth is trivial and likely slanted as it comes through tabloid sources like the Daily Mail. As for WP:NCRIME, the subject's "criminal history" consists of traffic offenses, resisting arrest and other breaches of public order. The most serious pending charges from the incident are drug possession and failure to render aid. Coverage of the crash is still strictly news cycle material. In short, BLP1E back filled with sensationalist dirt. • Gene93k (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I concur. As is the article is just an abuse magnet and keeps attracting BLP violations. And even without those it is still a travesty on WP:UNDUE grounds and there is not even a hint of effort to fix that. WP is better without it. Wefa (talk) 01:20, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This fails the one incdient test, and comes off as a borderline attack article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:39, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Biography of an otherwise unremarkable stockbroker whom is now infamous due to his actions following a tragic incident. Entirely agree with Nomination. --Jack Frost (talk) 06:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
