• Comment. Can you please specify which of the citations are from sources that might breach WP:RS? Unless the majority of sources are unreliable, I would think this meets the GNG because coverage is fairly significant. Thanks.
• Keep Co-managing partner and minority owner of two major sports teams (as well as other significant sporting investments) which have seen major builds in value (seems to be building a multi-sport franchise with forays into baseball, soccer, and esports); key executive at Blackstone ($7 billion in sales); active philanthropist. What sources are unreliable? Patapsco913 ( talk) 15:46, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Can you share a few RS that covers him in-depth and not his business? Also, being a owner of a big company doesn't makes you notable, it is important to know what you are notable for. All of sources are primarily routine coverage and fails to establish his notability to deserve an encyclopedic page. Meeanaya ( talk) 18:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply

He is a businessman so it will be hard to find an article that mentions only him and not any of the sports teams he manages and owns or his employment at Blackstone. Patapsco913 ( talk) 02:31, 12 August 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete owning a sports team is not a default sort of notability. The sourcing is not enough to show notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:28, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply
  • He is "co-managing partner" not just owner; he does not own just one sport team; he has a separate business and philanthropic career; and is a major investor in esporting. Patapsco913 ( talk) 17:55, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep seems to be more than just an owner of a team, he's a co-manager, also a philanthropist, also a founder of a fund, also serves on boards, etc. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 19:23, 11 August 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep. My request for unreliable source examples has not been answered and I agree with points made by Sir Joseph. Subject meets GNG. No Great Shaker ( talk) 09:57, 12 August 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep - There's a strong claim of notability as a sports-team owner and businessman, backed by a broad and deep range of reliable and verifiable sources supporting that claim. Alansohn ( talk) 14:35, 12 August 2019 (UTC) reply
