Fails WP:NBIO, WP:NOTINHERITED – the person does not seem to be notable independently from the company he started ( Missguided). Consequently, virtually all listed sources mention his name only incidentally, in the context of Missguided. — kashmīrī TALK 20:47, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

- Strong Keep I'm original author of the article. Figurehead of Missguided, which is a high-profile fashion company in the UK. He is also on The Sunday Times Rich List -- wealth is not a indication of noteworthiness on its own, but a signal of public interest. There is extensive personal coverage of Passi and also in his role as founder / CEO of Missguided. I'm seeing interviews in The FT, The Guardian, Drapers, Retail Week, Daily Mail, and The Times. Lots of personal coverage around failure to appear in front of a Parliamentary Select Committee too. Additionally, Drapers puts him at No. 10 most influential person in UK fashion -- above Mike Ashley, Philip Green, amongst others. Of course, not all the people on Drapers list qualify, but he is also the founder and 100pc owner of the company, worth £250 million according to The Sunday Times. Seems difficult to me to say he isn't notable. ScepticalChymist ( talk) 20:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - ScepticalChymist has found some good sources in reliable publications and Passi seems to meet WP:NBIO. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 20:38, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
