 * Article on likely proper level, but it seems to be promotion. Notability is disputable. Delete Tymon. r   Do you have any questions?  19:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Crane's role as CEO at NRG Energy, described as the "nation’s biggest nonutility electricity producer, with $12 billion in annual revenue" is a credible claim of notability and there is appropriate coverage about him, notably the Forbes 2014 profile, to meet the notability guideline. If the article is "spammy", then it needs to be fixed, not deleted. Alansohn (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep CEO of an S&P500 company, and profiles in Forbes and Bloomberg, passes WP:GNG. Kraxler (talk) 16:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - the tone of the article needs work, but it's not at a G11 level. The sources in the article are sufficient evidence to meet the GNG.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 01:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
