Chris Weston (businessman)

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

Fails WP:BIO. Mentions of him that I can find are one of three things - 1) company sources, which fail the guideline by not being independent from the subject. 2) parroted news releases sent out over the intertubes to announce some acquisition or another which mention him as CEO. 3) independent, third-party sources about the company which include a quote from him as CEO, which aren't about the subject or discussing him in detail.

As far as I'm aware, businessmen are not considered automatically notable based on the size of the company that they run. They are required to have some kind of detailed coverage of them as individuals, and failing that the article should be deleted. Ironholds (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Ironholds pretty much covered every point. Significant non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources has not been demonstrated.  Non-notable. Drawn Some (talk) 00:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
