Notability is not inherited i.e. CEO of notable company is not necessarily notable. Fails WP:GNG due to little independent coverage. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:45, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep With a noted gender bias on Wikipedia, I wonder if a male 15 year CEO of notable company would be up for deletion? I found that she is an author of a book on engagement marketing and has had some degree of notability in the press. I will take the responsibility of making this article better and adding more citations and references.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 00:55, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Note This AfD was originally suggested at the teahouse by a new and female user, so I have doubts that this nomination is the result of the systemic gender bias on wikipedia. However this women may be notable enough to have a wikipedia article so, Keep with changes to verify the notability of the subject
 * As the new and female editor in question, the nomination was due to me stumbling upon the article and finding it odd that a CEO of a company I had never heard about had an article just mentionning she was CEO, and a notability tag. I searched a bit and could not find any independant coverage. I would have done the same if it had been a guy. In fact I might have been quicker to report it.

 * Merge to Constant Contact. The redirect could still be categorized in a manner to help alleviate gender bias.  My rationale for merger = she is notable for being the CEO of the company and nothing more at this time (i.e. she is notable due to one event ... WP:BLP1E).  It is quite possible that she will become notable in her own right in time. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 01:22, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Resources If anyone is interested in getting this article to a Keep, I added a list of resources to Talk:Gail_F._Goodman including New York Times and Boston Globe/Boston.com interviews. I don't have time this week to work it. Carl Henderson (talk) 03:27, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached. Relisting comment: Many ideas here, but a consensus thus far has not been forthcoming. North America1000 03:21, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to Constant Contact. The company is notable, the CEO possibly. Bearian (talk) 01:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The head of a really notable company is probably notable, but this is a borderline notable company, and there is nothing specific to hter otherwise in the article. There's nothing worth merging except the bare fact that she is ceo, and that is already in the article.  DGG ( talk ) 06:51, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Constant Contact, assuming the latter is a Notable company. I looked her up in Bing.com, and there is just one Forbes article. Not very much there. " . . . multiple sources are generally expected." BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 07:40, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I added more info to the article, and one (soon 2) more cites. Most of what I find is about the company, not about her, but she sits on boards and has been interviewed at length about her business philosophy. I didn't get that latter into the article because I wasn't sure if interviews are considered RS. There are more sources on the talk page. LaMona (talk) 02:57, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
