• Delete the whole thing feels promotional, and I don't see a clear case that GNG is met. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 03:36, 10 June 2018 (UTC) also, not to be confused with Robert Hamburger. reply
• Keep. Some of the references weren't formatted. They are now, and I think the references from reliable sources are enough to establish notability. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 06:35, 10 June 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep The AfD nomination is incorrect, the {{ note}} tag does not mean an article "fails notability". Only AfD can determine that, and there has been no consensus about it. Second, the article contains numerous in-depth biographical profiles of Hamburger including a front-page feature article. More so when you read them it becomes clear he did something unusual in his field, he is an innovator in his profession. There is a reason all these sources about him. I agree there is some salesmanship in the writing, I started working on it just prior to the AfD. -- Green C 02:36, 11 June 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete nothing more than local coverage. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 01:44, 12 June 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete-promotional biography, very poor sourcing.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 04:13, 14 June 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep, as no policy-based reason for deletion has been offered. 73.81.147.224 ( talk) 15:38, 15 June 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete Very borderline notable at best, and almost entirely promotional. Most of the refs are from his own site or obvious PR. One WSJ article does not prove notability in theabsence of anything else. 80% of the content is listing his opinion and talks he has givern. No indication his law firm is notable; no indication his charity is foundation; no indication his conference seies is notable. The content in the section on his conference consists of namedropping the people who attended. DGG ( talk ) 16:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Hamburger "helped define the ( Registered Investment Adviser) industry" (Wealth Magangement magazine). He "took the independent advisory model to the next level" (October 2008 issue of Investment Advisor). These are direct assertions of notability by independent reliable sources. Do we trust the expert sources, or the opinions of Wikipedia editors who may or may not be expert in the field of RIA. -- Green C
