I prodded this with "No evidence of in-depth coverage, there are just press releases mentioning his name and their rewrites. Fails WP:NBIO.". PRO was declined by the creator with a comment that this ref is sufficient. Unfortunately, I disagree - it is a podcast WP:INTERVIEW. If this is the best, well...

 * Keep per WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE. As the CEO of Kenya Airways, I'd say he ranks with Fortune 500 CEOs, etc. Alternatively, could be merged to a "Leadership" section in Kenya Airways. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 06:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am a bit confused. NB says that people listed in " listed in the Fortune 500 (US) or the FTSE 100 Index (UK)" are notable. Is he listed in one of those? If he is not, well, then it is just your subjective view that he is "of similar importance". I actually think that there are other rankings for other countries that may have similar importance, but first, did you find that he is ranked in such an alternative ranking, and b, what makes that alternative ranking comparable? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here
 * I was making an argument by analogy. If we accept CEOs of Fortune 500/FTSE listed companies—i.e., large, prominent companies in the US and UK, respectively—as notable by virtue of the companies they work for, we should also accept CEOs of companies such as Kenya Airways (a major Kenyan company) for the same reason. So it's an opinion, but it's not merely subjective: I'm attempting to extrapolate the reasoning grounding the relevant WP:OUTCOMES into this situation. The argument stands or falls by how similar Kenya Airways is to, say, American Airlines or International Airlines Group. I happen to think it's similar enough to confer notability on the subject of this article. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Fair argument, through I'd also say that we should check if being a CEO of a comparable airline is indeed enough to get one on those US/UK lists. Sure, airlines can be big, but is being a CEO of one good enough to get one such a spot? And is each and every CEO of let's say American Airlines on such a list, of every 2nd or 3rd? Etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here

 * Keep. CEO of Kenya Airways, search for sources I see thousands of items on him also in the international press.--Chuka Chief (talk) 19:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:GOOGLEHITS is not helpful. Did you find any independent, reliable, in-depth sources? Could you link them for our consideration? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:15, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. This new reference by a Kenyan business magazine might be in-depth enough to convince even the most skeptical. Two more references have been added here1 and here2. Fsmatovu (talk) 15:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
