I've reviewed the Matthew Riley article and its supporting references, and in my assessment, the subject meets the notability requirements set out in WP:BIO.
The article draws on a range of independent, reliable secondary sources, including Sky News (twice), Financial Times, CNBC, BBC, BusinessCloud, and the Lancashire Telegraph. These provide more than passing references; they offer substantial coverage of Riley’s role as founder and executive chairman of Daisy Group, as well as his broader business activities and recognition.
The coverage includes detailed reporting on major corporate transactions, such as Daisy Group’s £1.6 billion acquisition and its 2025 merger with Virgin Media O2 (valued at £3 billion). In addition, Riley has held non-executive roles with publicly listed companies and received nationally recognised business awards. All of this is supported by verifiable, third-party sources and aligns with the notability standards for businesspeople under WP:BIO.
Happy to hear other views, of course - but on balance, this article does seem to meet Wikipedia’s standards for a biographical article.
In light of this, I propose that the notability tag be removed. If there are any concerns or alternative views, please do raise them here. Otherwise, I will proceed with removal after a suitable period for discussion. Easypeasydl (talk) 10:30, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
