Contested deletion[edit]
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance primarily based on the leading role John Carrafiell played as the head of Morgan Stanley's European Real Estate Group in its £1.7 billion takeover of Canary Wharf. The Canary Wharf deal was huge. His role is mentioned in many reliable sources, including:
The Financial Times:("Mr Carrafiell, best known for leading the takeover of Canary Wharf Group in 2004, will next month step down as global co-head of Morgan Stanley Real Estate to be an adviser to the bank." and "while the Canary Wharf deal will be his main legacy, he oversaw a number of other property industry innovations including the securitisation of Broadgate for British Land.)(http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/05d8c78c-cdf8-11dd-8b30-000077b07658.html#axzz3iPORqsBI)
The Telegraph:(" Carrafeill, the head of Morgan Stanley's European real estate group, orchestrated the deal, as he did the bank's recent £1.7billion purchase of Canary Wharf.)(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2900425/Business-profile-Property-player-looks-for-extended-West-End-run.html)
PropertyWeek.com:("Supreme European property achievement: John Carrafiel European Property Awards 2007-The last two years have been a golden period for Carrafiell. Having spearheaded Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds’ explosive growth in Europe, including its role in the takeover of Canary Wharf Group, he now has an even bigger job.")(http://www.propertyweek.com/supreme-european-property-achievement-john-carrafiell/3097023.article) and the following additional sources:

Carrafiell is a powerful and important figure in European real estate, as referenced in a large number and variety of reliable sources. Perhaps more of this information should have been incorporated into the article, which in its present form is somewhere between a stub and a starter, but it seems to me it is clearly wiki-worthy.
