Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because:

RG was CEO of the ABN AMRO to the consortium RSA (RBS, Fortis and Banco Santander), a highly controversial take-over deal which is seen as possible Worst takeoverdeal ever
RG was not only responsible as CEO, he was also personally the driving force in selling the bank (although denying it now)
RG is in the middle of controversies in regards to the bonus culture in general, and in the bonus culure in the banking idustry specifically
RG stands for some people as the shining example of all what is wrong with the mentality at the bank. So is he completely surprised why people have any comments about the €23 million he received when the bank was sold to RFS: he says that as a shareholder he was entitled to that money and it never even crossed his mind that he shoudn;t cash that money: it was his.
RG thinks that he only received a very minimal payment when he actually left the company (2 x year salary - at least > 1 million): in his eyes he was very modest payment for loosing a job
Even now, with the knowledge of now, RG doesn't think he did anything wrong as CEO of the bank

All this is imho enough reason to keep the article. I see no reason for a deletion, let alone a Speedy Deletion.

But that's my opinion, others can have a different view of course. Tonkie (talk) 03:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many typo's

Now that the (speedy) deletion controversy has ended I had another look at the article. To my utter shame I saw that my original article was very full of (stupid) typo's but most of them have already been corrected by other Wikipedians as DreamFieldArts, Orenburg1, Eumolpo, Ices2Csharp and others. Thank you all for this. Tonkie (talk) 16:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
