Bryan Slusarchuk

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unable to identify any coverage about the subject. . . coverage involving him was quotations in passing about the companies he works for—and most of those are press releases. It is noteworthy that the creator and sole contributor to the substance of the article has an account name identical to that of a PR / web firm that works for the company that employs the subject (see http://www.newdesignnow.com/clients/).

The editor who removed the nomination stated that the "CEO of a Public Company is notable". However, there is no support in the guideline for such de facto notability. Since there is in fact no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject identified, notability has not been demonstrated.

 * Delete - I am unable to find any articles written about him in newspapers or business press. Lots of him providing a quiote in the context of an article about Tirex Resources, but that's not enough to establish notability.  -- Whpq (talk) 20:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete A profile in Business Week might seem enough for notability, but reading it, it seems to be based on his PR. or COI. The CEO of a major public company is notable, but I am not the least sure his company  counts as such.  DGG (talk) 16:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Tirex Resources Ltd. is a publicly trading company that is listed on two major stock exchanges: Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It may be that current guidelines do not explicitly state that being the CEO of a publicly traded corporation is evidence of de facto notability, but I submit that it should. I also note that COI is not a ground for deletion (it may be grounds for editing). Tirex Resources Ltd. is a major publicly traded corporation, as evidenced by its listing on two major stock exchanges, and as the CEO of such publicly traded corporation this article is notable.Esasus (talk) 19:04, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - You are free to disagree with the notability guidelines, but they do represent the general consensus for inclusion. If you think they need to be reworked, the village pump may be a more appropriate venue for such a discussion. -- Whpq (talk) 19:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This looks more like an article about Tirex than it does Bryan, and it would take a good amount of rewrite work to make it fully as such.  Matt (talk) 03:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
