I think WP:BLP1E applies here, Wick is only notable for one event, and does not meet the criteria for an article. Martin451 (talk) 21:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I disagree. We don't know the full extent of how this story is going to unfold, and the expenses scandal in the UK is a huge issue. He may not require rigorous documentation, but it seems legitimate to keep a reference here about him. Tom Coates (talk) 05:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Keep = If John Wick the Games designer is notable then a figure in the biggest political scandal in decades is notableFivestarfrankie (talk) 15:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm very surprised that this is being suggested for deletion. This event is a significant political matter which will be examined closely in the future. The motivations, political history and other details of even the middle man will, i guess be of encyclopaedic importance. 217.42.85.209 (talk) 20:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
