Emanuele Minotti

Equity analysts are not generally notable. This one seems to be no exception. Looks suspiciously like a vanity piece, mainly edited and created by SPAs. Sources are nothing but a series of very trivial mentions and the subject's names on research notes. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:11, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passing WP:BASIC (multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability), per:
 * • Failed Deals Leave Italy Banks in Flux, NY Times
 * • INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; Italian Banks Are Steered Clear of Mergers. NY Times
 * • Business: The Company File - Italian insurance giant in merger bid BBC News
 * • Full Year 2006 KBC Group NV Earnings Conference Call - Part 3 et al.

 * Delete The above sources listed by constitute trivial coverage. Analyzing each source through the lens of WP:GNG:
 * In "Failed Deals Leave Italy Banks in Flux", Minotti is quoted and identified as a "European banking analyst at Salomon Smith Barney". The article further mentions his recommendations with regards to some banking stuff. This source does not go beyond a mention in passing ("John Smith at Big Company said..." ...).
 * "INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; Italian Banks Are Steered Clear of Mergers" contains merely two quotes from Minotti. See WP:BASIC.
 * "Business: The Company File - Italian insurance giant in merger bid" is trivial coverage as Minotti is interviewed about some economic stuff. Being interviewed about something does not establish one's notability.
 * "Earnings Conference Call - Part 3" is another interview of Minotti about some economic stuff. See my comments about the previous source.
 * In sum, all the sources consist of quotes of Minotti, which establishes his reliability as a source, not his notability. Goodvac (talk) 23:29, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
