There is no independent significant coverage that meets the requirements set out at WP:GNG. All I can find is, he was twice caught in the news. First, for his involvement with some land deals that reached litigation that just happened to involve a football club, which is what the news was actually interested in. And second, when it was found that a block of flats that had gone viral for its "squalid" conditions was owned by him. I feel silly having to say this, but neither one, nor both together, should be enough to qualify a person for an encyclopedia entry, even one as inclusive as ours. Also, we should not be creating an article about otherwise non-notable people to list out bad things about them which were not severe enough to make them famous and result in massive court cases that find them guilty. And he is otherwise non-notable. Remove those two incidents, and we are left with zero secondary sources. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
