Doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG. References are mostly worthless, and the highest level of rugby he played at appears to be Scottish National League Division One. Uhooep (talk) 23:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Insufficient notability. Most of the references are tenuous or not even relevant at best. Coldupnorth (talk) 19:48, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, looking at the history/page creator its arguably Wikipedia:Autobiography. Coldupnorth (talk) 19:50, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He is mentioned in some newspaper coverage of a tech company that he was chief executive of, when it was looking for and then secured some substantial investment. The Scotland on Sunday article had his name in the article title and described him as a serial entrepreneur, but I couldn't find much other coverage of him beyond the articles related to his role at GSI. Other links relate to participation in sports, or family members. I don't see that notability has been established here. Drchriswilliams (talk) 07:37, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete "Nigel played sport at a high level. He is a black belt at judo". Vanity page. doesn't meet sports bio notability and WP:GNG. Lekkha Moun (talk) 10:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Besides the COI/autobiography issue, there is no evidence of him being notable for either judo or rugby. I found a business database entry for the company he co-founded and it says there are only 11 total employees. There is nothing that shows he meets any WP notability criteria. He has family members that seem more notable than him, but WP notability is not inherited. Papaursa (talk) 01:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
