Deletion of Thomas Ross Holmes

Comment: I'm one of two admins who have been discussing this article with {{user0|Bensomersethow}} (the other being {{user0|Jimfbleak}}). I initially became involved after I {{diff2|390037377|declined a CSD request}}. I'm not yet convinced that the article's subject is notable enough for an article: it would seem to me that a stronger case could be made for the Edinburgh International Marketing Festival, which Thomas Ross Holmes founded. However, this festival is part of the Edinburgh Fringe rather than the main Festival, so maybe, maybe not. Thomas Ross Holmes also founded Creativebrief, which "connects buyers and sellers of marketing services". There's no article for Creativebrief, either, and I'm not convinced that they'd necessarily be notable enough for an article. Finally, the article's creator is http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/ben-somerset-how/a/697/2a3 an employee of the article's subject. I hadn't realised that until just now, but Jimfbleak {{oldid2|388671207|clearly had}}. Ben, you do need to be aware of |Wikipedia' conflict of interest policy
