I created this article some months back, and to be honest I think it shouldn't be here as it fails WP:BLP1E. The news coverage of this person extends only to a single issue. It's not a biography so much as a coatrack article. I don't know what I was thinking when I made it. h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep he seems quite notable from his issues with Trump. Travellingcari (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - sufficiently notable, or merge per WP:BLP1E if there is a suitable article for it to be merged into. --Snigbrook (talk) 19:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The golf complex itself hasn't been made yet and I believe there is no article about it at the moment. I'm not even 100% sure the construction of the complex is even going ahead now. Anyway, I'm surprised people are suggesting that this article be kept.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep on the basis of international coverage, which seems a logical standard. I think the notability is partially that he did succeed in blocking it, so that the course does not exist seems irrelevant as a criterion.DGG (talk) 02:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into main D. Trump article. No amount of international coverage changes the fact that this a classic case of WP:BLP1E. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge per WP:BLP1E. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge as per WP:BLP1E as others have written above.BWH76 (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • This person is worth only a single sentence in the Donald Trump article, due to lack of relevance to that topic.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • It could maybe just be redirected to Donald Trump per other articles where the subject has no independent notability of a notable person, like Brooklyn Beckham, Jason Allen Alexander and the way that Adnan Ghalib looks to be going. The type of relationship is irrelevant (child, partner, even enemy or rival as in this case) - what's relevant is that a nn person is connected to a notable person in some way.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 15:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
