Doesn't appear to be notable. I tried looking for coverage, but found WP:PRIMARY and other uses of the same phrase. Pepper Beast   (talk)  13:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep The article has a ton of refs listed at the bottom (@pepperbeast, do those not count towards notability?)
 * -- A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 01:12, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The quality of the refs counts as much as the quantity. To be WP:notable, an article subject should have significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Most of the refs listed here appear to be WP:PRIMARY, blog posts, brief mentions, etc.   Pepper Beast    (talk)  02:21, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is worth mentioning that there is one journal. That's it. There isn't any significant coverage in any other sources. Tarantula TM  (speak with me) (my legacy) 05:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The offline journal sources provide significant, secondary, neutral, and independent coverage to the subject, thus making it notable. Thanks, @A. B. Tarantula TM  (speak with me) (my legacy) 07:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  01:29, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Referenced, meets notability guidelines, can be expanded. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:31, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, I dispute the idea that the references amount to significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Pepper Beast    (talk)  14:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. Even if we remove every Ekelund source, this still seems to meet GNG with source in the article including Clutterbuck, et al. and Romani. There's other coverage not in the article like (Henry W. Lane, et al. International Management Behavior: Leading with a Global Mindset) and (Rabotin, Culture Savvy: Working and Collaborating Across the Globe) &mdash;siro&chi;o 04:47, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
