Fluff piece for yet another famous person (and verified socialite, apparently). There's an award, and it's verified--but whether that one single award should make a person notable enough for inclusion, well, I don't think so. Drmies (talk) 03:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources contain scant mentions of him, sometimes amid many others in the same business. I don't see any substantial articles about either him or his restaurants. Admittedly, it is a highly competitive business, especially in a city like London, but nothing seems to make him stand out from the crowd in terms verifiable notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please delete; article created by his wife, Melissa Anschutz, for no other purpose than to create a smokescreen for her 'performance' on 'Ladies of London. Where does this end. Is every restaurateur, MD of any company, owner of a cornershop, or someone who had their gob photographed in Tatler going to get their own Wikipedia entry. Just saying.— Preceding unsigned comment added by GrahamRouse (talk • contribs) — GrahamRouse (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I am sorry but thus article is pathetic and needs to go. It was created by by his wife (!), marissaanshutz, under the grand heading 'Created page with 'Matt Hermer — Founder and Managing Director of Ignite Group The Ignite Group is an independent company in the UK luxury on-trade sector, with a portfolio of bar' and she continues to monitor and amend this page under pseudonyms such as marissaliamaeanshutz and marissaliamae (why 3 identities?). There is this appalling reality show called 'Ladies of London' which features Marissa complete with fake house in Chelsea and restaurants which Matt supposedly owns but clearly doesn't. Utter BS. Get rid of it and don't feed these people's insecurities.— Preceding unsigned comment added by FrancisHeathfield (talk • contribs) — FrancisHeathfield (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete. I can't find enough coverage to conclude the subject merits a standalone article. -- Rrburke (talk) 17:03, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised the article wasn't deleted earlier. I personally think Wikipedia is terribly devalued if such people are given a platform to give them an importance they simply don't possess. And creating such an entry for your husband? I am afraid that is simply 'not done'.— Preceding unsigned comment added by LucySmythe (talk • contribs) — LucySmythe (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete probable self-publicity to generate its own notability --Mevagiss (talk) 14:46, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Refs are trivial, a non notable individual. Even the IP and SPA editors think he's NN. Not seen that before! Szzuk (talk) 22:25, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
