  • Delete - There is absolutely no assertion of notability whatsoever. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 11:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Finch is a step further down the "associated with Lou Pearlman" notability ladder than AfD Ahmed Ayman El-Difrawi (closed/delete) was. It may be appropriate to make passing references to both Finch and El-Difrawi on the Lou Pearlman page, however at present every argument that was made about the non notability of El-Difrawi also applies to the Finch article.

Comment: Well, it was fun while it lasted and it inspired me to do some writing I had been stalling for too long. For both articles goes: perhaps "not notable" to Wikipedia standards, but most certainly NOT "not true". Alec definitely is a career criminal and Finch is his current patsy. Either because he's evil too and gets paid for it well enough, or because he's been forced to it. I estimate the latter, but I may be wrong about that. Ayman's latest patsy before Finch, Michael Fomkin, most likely was blackmailed with Alec's knowledge about one Peter D. Luterek. --SooperJoo 16:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete nn, and it reads like a shopping list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiptopper (talk • contribs) 12:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - Agree with all above. ScarianTalk 12:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't remotely meet WP:Notability and, as per Tiptopper, reads like a shopping list. Ugly and unnecessary. Accounting4Taste 17:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Mr Finch incorporated Internet Solutions Corp "a global company with a who’s who of Fortune 500 clients"[1], and apparently is this company's Vice President. Being so high up in such a huge and respectable business seems to have high notability to me. Please, don't tell me it may be a scam. --SooperJoo 16:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
To add to my credibility: I have been working a long time on the article on Lou Pearlman, describing his nefarious activities while he was then mainly notable for his pop music ventures. Now he's in the slammer for big time scam. Mr Finch is associated with one of Pearlman's main scam "consultants". --SooperJoo 16:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry for scoring a "Dicky" (Dutch slang for reacting three times in a row ), but another thing crossed my mind. Speaking of notability: the article may be considered an extension of the Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi page, which is strongly related to the Pearlman page. Read them both, think about it and make up your mind again about the notability, thank you. --SooperJoo 02:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment The rationale that this article should be considered an extension of the Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi article no longer applies; that article has been deleted. DylanKate 19:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment Which was to be expected of course. El-Difrawi Not Notable to Wikipedia, heheh. Perhaps it will be back one day. Until then [2]. The Alex Finch page will probably follow soo. Who cares. --SooperJoo 21:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
