David Knox (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable executive. No indication of significance to the wider community, independent of the companies themselves. LS1979 (talk) 09:34, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I have since expanded the page, which now includes his appearance in a newspaper article listing him as one of South Australia's most influential people. Also added a section re: salary controversy and another showing membership of various organisations, boards etc. More to come... I may have launched the page prematurely but I hope I can justify its existence. Danimations (talk) 12:44, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Whilst I can't seem to find a WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE guideline, he is a long-term CEO of an ASX 50 company, so I would think some form of assumed notability would apply. Basic google searches are difficult to find specific features on him due to the many quotes of him in his capacity as CEO, but articles like these from The Age, Adelaide Now and SMH are about him as much as the company.
