Notability of Brian Shaw
You edited the Brian G. Shaw article with the edit summary that Shaw was Chairman of CIBC during a controversial period. If he is notable for that controversy, the article should mention something about it. As it does not mention this controversy, how are readers to assess the notability of that involvement?
