Disputed PROD. No evidence of notability provided over and above any other business person. The "references" do not actually refer to Mr. Barnett at all. PROD disputed by a new editor, Erroreraser (talk · contribs), as his/her third edit. His/her first edit was this charming message Mattinbgn\^talk 20:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC) Note: PROD was disputed with the following edit comment: "Notability is not being notable in Cleveland"[reply]

• Fair enough... I'll update the sources so they better reflect 'notableness'... Give me a couple of days. Triki-iki-wiki (talk) 04:24, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. For reasons stated above, no notability. Half the world's population are probably "business people", shall we have an article on them all? Nouse4aname (talk) 20:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. These searches ([1], [2], [3]) indeed show he is an Australian businessman. They do not show any special notability. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete could not find anything showing notability. Seems like an average businessman. --Banime (talk) 21:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Non-Notable. I went through all of the references cited, including trying to find Mr. Barnett on the list of officers, and was unable to locate him.SunTzuGuy (talk) 21:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Non-notable (else half of us are probably worth an article for our real-life business positions).--VS ^talk 22:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not notable.--Grahame (talk) 06:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, would not appear to meet the WP:BIO notability criteria. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:24, 2 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
