Alexander C. Taylor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

nominating for a deletion and redirect after trying to boldly redirect it. There is no evidence that Alexander Taylor is notable independent of his position on several boards/as CEO. There is no in depth coverage and his name is generally only mentioned in passing or as a part of standard business publications. Praxidicae (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment. Not saying you are wrong but Taylor is the president and CEO of Cox Enterprises, a notable company. Its chair James C. Kennedy has its own page. Why do you think Kennedy should have it but Taylor should not? castorbailey (talk) 06:21, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: No desire as yet to Delete, however, the specific RS that would confirm GNG have not yet been provided at this AfD; a non-notable CEO of a notable CORP is likely to become a ReDirect; try a re-list
 * Weak keep -from what I can see, he probably meets WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , I see 9 results from news. 1 is the press release for his becoming COO, 2 & 3 are local news articles about that and his joining the company's board. 4 & 5 are about his grandma giving away her money. 6 is the announcement of his joining the board in his college newspaper. 7 is about Taylor Swift and Lamar Alexander. 8 is about Vanderbilt, his alma mater, whose board he is on. 9 is about wealthy American dynasties and mentions his name. What are you seeing? --valereee (talk) 16:45, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep.He's new as CEO but with family ownership he will be among the richest and most powerful for a long time.--12.144.5.2 (talk) 04:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Britishfinance (talk) 00:52, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I see a lot of claims that he's notable but no one has provided any actual sources to establish that he is actually notable. Having a job (and being "rich") does not make one notable, nor does being in the family business. He doesn't have any coverage of him as an individual. Praxidicae (talk) 15:39, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cox Enterprises. Being a COO isn't enough to show notability. Maybe he'll become notable, but right now he's just a CEO who serves on some charitable foundation boards just like every other COO/CEO. --valereee (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
