Most current references barely touch on him as a person or are entirely about his vending machine company. Maxim and Forbes cites are the best, but they read as puff pieces. Matt Deres (talk) 20:23, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I checked a number of sources like this; this and this and they don't even mention Yates. Fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 01:43, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect- to Fresh Healthy Vending, if the subject on its own lacks SIGCOV to support its own article as a standalone.Lorraine Crane (talk) 09:49, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Fresh Healthy Vending. The sources I could find are almost exclusively about his company. The only thing I could find that might suggest notability independent of that company is that he was fined $3.5 million by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over a previous business venture [1] [2], but I couldn't find any SIGCOV of him associated with that episode either.
