Pushes the boundary of WP:NBIO - a businessperson involved in some merger transactions, but is it really encyclopedic? The community should have a voice on this. The mergers history seems about as notable as the 1990s bagels sales – not very. ☆ Bri (talk) 06:05, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep mergers are significant and subject has dozens of citations--FrankTursetta (talk) 14:58, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject has attained WP:SIGCOV; forget the bagels – his work with Deutsche Boerse, NASDAQ, NYSE and LSE alone is certainly notable and recognized as such in plenty of well established News Orgs. Bienmanchot (talk) 23:14, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- does not meet WP:ANYBIO; has not accomplished anything notable or significant. Wikipedia is not a resume hosting service. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:01, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment According to plenty of sources123, M&A Boutiques like Bednar's (ranked #3 among top boutiques of 20174) are doing real damage to Wall Street, gaining WP:SIGCOV along the way. Not to incite WP:OSE, but as cofounder of his firm5, even if you ignored his many other significant contributions to the field (see refs on page), Bednar is clearly notable, and ~90% of top boutique founders have entries. This isn't far fetched, and it doesn't warrant the WP:JNN reasoning provided above.--Chamber chamber (talk) 00:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:GNG and Comment validates the argument--JAMillerKC (talk) 19:59, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
