There is no evidence of Mr Pearson actually owning anything, bar a convenience store in Co Kilkenny. I propose this article be deleted. He has been described as a real life Walter Mitty. 78.137.147.133 (talk) 22:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stuart Pearson (businessman) jnestorius^(talk) 16:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hang on, I think the article just needs editing to tell what now appears to be the truth - even though his claims seem to be false it doesn't immediately mean the article should be deleted. Smartse (talk) 18:57, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I also agree that this article should be deleted. Several stories have been circulated but in the interests of updating Wikipedia, which is used as a source of information, it would be wise to delete this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.237.186 (talk) 10:32, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
