Created and contributed to (~80% of edits) by SPA/COI. Subject fails notability general guidelines: The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times or The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field No specific notability guides for businesspeople, but even being flexible with the criteria and the spirit of the criteria, this person falls short. Founded a company that eventually sold for a considerable sum of money. This in itself does not convey notability. I went through all the other points e.g. contributed to a book. It's a two page profile in a book that wasn't particularly notable itself https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5wJMVYXFq5gC&pg=PT140&dq=%22sam+malin%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbnLj25NvJAhXJ1RQKHS-7CSAQ6AEIHzAA#v=onepage&q=%22sam%20malin%22&f=false and 3 years later he contributed an even briefer half page as one of 150 contributors to the follow up book https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=i2zgAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT123&dq=%22sam+malin%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbnLj25NvJAhXJ1RQKHS-7CSAQ6AEIQDAH#v=onepage&q=%22sam%20malin%22&f=false Subject has had a little press thanks to his wife's appearance on X Factor and their appearance on a TV show etc (see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1167021/It-happened--I-survived-helicopter-crash.html and http://thesteepletimes.com/characters/sam-malin-and-irene-major-aka-lord-and-lady-hailes/ and http://www.kentonline.co.uk/gravesend/news/flashiest-family-stars-in-tv-44398/ Nothing on JStor. Highbeam throws up this article about a Kenyan deal in 2011 https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-252898023.html and this from 2006 https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-151616414.html The one academic paper match (also listed in article) may be a false positive as rest of subject's biography suggests he may not have been doing research into lazy eye in 2003. http://mvr.mcgill.ca/Robert/PDF-03/Hess-Malin-2003.pdf In my view, the sum of a small number of low level things does not equate to notability.
