Lack of notability GrogBoggoth (talk) 23:36, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

What I'm seeing here is a couple of defunct web sites, a biography that describes an unremarkable path to chartered accountancy and a bunch of weasel words ("it is rumored that Scott has won over $15 million playing Blackjack in over 100 casinos around the world."). Indeed, the whole biography looks very much like it was penned by its subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrogBoggoth (talk • contribs) 23:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - This fails WP:BIO and seems like self-promotion. Many assertions have no references. Out of 7 references, 1 has no link, 2 links are broken, 1 is an interview that includes the subject as one of the interviewees, and 3 are from a less than authoritative site that includes cell phone pictures of letters and articles which do little to corroborate the story other than to say that the subject had conflict with one casino at one time and obtained as much media as possible.--Rpclod (talk) 01:36, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
• Delete fails to have significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Fails WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 06:41, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
• Delete Reads like a vanity entry. No sign of acual notability StuartDouglas (talk) 15:08, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
• Hi there! I am Andrew Scott, the subject of this page, currently holidaying in Thailand hence the Thai IP address. I realise it says above that no further edits should be made to this page and not to modify it, and that subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). But now that the page has been deleted I can't put this in the article's talk page and I am most certainly not going to initiate a deletion review, so forgive me for adding this comment to the archive of the discussion. I just want to say thank you for deleting this page! I am more than happy that it has gone, my days as a blackjack player are long behind me and this Wikipedia article continued to define me as such, hampering some of my current business activities. I had a business meeting regarding a proposal coming up in 2 days and I was concerned as to the affect of the page on the people I am pitching to, so I came to Wikipedia to re-review the page and was delighted to see it gone. So to "GrogBoggoth", thank you. It's clear the user was created merely to propose the deletion of this article, so it was someone who disliked me no doubt from some perceived injustice from the past and thought they were hurting me by deleting the article. In fact, as I said, I am delighted. Thanks!
