Chris Tronbjerg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability isn't automatically inherited because one is a CEO of a multinational corporation. The source searches I cited in my PROD (1 2) and further ones in WorldCat and Star show a lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, thus Tronbjerg fails ANYBIO and GNG.

 * Delete. You should think that it would be possible to find at least a couple of good sources about a man who's had a street in São Paolo named after him. Here's the little I managed to dig up regardless of insignificance:• mentions him as sales director of Vemag. Vemag was taken over by Volkswagen do Brasil in 1967.

• A scan of Correio da Manh%C3%A3 7 January 1968, mentions him as senior executive (alto dirigente) of Volkswagen do Brasil.

• lists him first under the VOLKSWAGEN DO BRASIL S/A heading.

• A scan of Jornal do Brasil 24 March 1973, has a retirement notice saying (mostly Google Translate): "The oldest employee of Volkswagen do Brasil, Danish-born Chris Tronbjerg, was retired on 7 February. He saw the birth of the national automotive industry 38 years ago, in the same field where the first production line was raised, that of Volkswagen, 20 years ago. He was retired because a company regulation says that people can no longer be employees when they 65 years of age."

• Death notice in a scan of Jornal do Brasil 6 March 1986.

•, a blog, briefly mentions that Tronbjerg helped convince Heinrich Nordhoff to sign an agreement for the assembly of Volkswagen in Brazil.
 * All in all, too little to support a stand-alone article. An alternative could have been WP:ATD-R with a mention in Volkswagen do Brasil, but I don't feel that the above sources give us a clear picture of the man's role in the company. I wonder what the future will bring in terms of non-English sources becoming available online. Sam Sailor 13:36, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
