 * Comment: I won't have time to follow up on all these, and I know that relying on Google counts alone is evil for considering notability, but a search for <"Fred Amoroso" MacroVision> does get 192 hits in Google news. &mdash;Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-18 08:07Z 


 * Comment Rubén Manusovich, google serach result 3100, but deleted. Matthew_hk   t  c  12:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs sourcing, not deletion. I started, more to come. CEOs of major companies like macrovision are N, and sourceable. (Google news is different from google. In google you get mainly blogs and mirrors, in google news you get mostly news articles or database articles, many of which are pay-only but  some  of which are undoubted RSs, though not all of which are independent.  But in either case you have to look at the individual results, not  just at the count).  DGG 02:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: Public corporation CEO usually seems to classify as noteworthy. The article needs a lot more detail, however.  I'll see what I can dig up on it.  alvinc


 * Keep. Macrovision appears to be a notable company engaged in an especially contentious area of business. The Macrovision article is large, and spinning of Mr Amoroso seems sensible. Also he appears to have at least some presence as a player in the protection field. Article needs some 3rd-party verification, though. But I feel its likely that such material exists, and the solution is to add it, not delete the article. Herostratus 13:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per DGG. Notability is not a characteristic of the article, which lacked sources at the time of nomination, but rather of the topic. The topic (in this case, a CEO) seems to be notable. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 19:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Important CEO for which there is not enough WP:RS material to write an attributable article on the topic. Thus, the topic does not meet Wikipedia notability guidelines and cannot meet Wikipedia article policy standards. -- Jreferee 22:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Yes he's a CEO, and that is no doubt mentioned on the company's page. Aside from that there's nothing here for a biography - no material at all.-Docg 12:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
