Fails WP:GNG. While there are a number of articles that quote him, those articles are not about him (generally, they are about University of Phoenix). About the most focused-on-him coverage I could find on him is in this Mother Jones article, and even that is really one sentence on him, one sentence on the performance of his company's stock.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep perhaps or at least perhaps Redirect to the company as I know and I have suggested that CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies are considered notable and that may suggest keeping this but I'm also somewhat uncertain because the article itself is still questionable.

 * Delete and redirect to the company if that is considered necessary. I don't find any substantial sources about him (only the above-mentioned short quotes). I haven't heard of this "CEO's of multi-billion dollar companies are considered notable" policy - it seems to me that they still have to meet GNG. If that is not the case, a link to the policy would be appreciated. LaMona (talk) 00:45, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The CEO of the parent company to the infamous University of Phoenix is notable by any reasonable standard, and if it isn't notable by the GNG that shows the GNG an unreasonable standard. But it probably does: some of the citations referring to his role in the firm discuss not the firm generally with a mention of him, but him specifically, and do not seem to be all press releases. . The general statement Swister Twister cites is not a  formal rule, but is generally true o  most decisions here, & I;d depart from it only if there are special factors.

 * Keep as is clearly notable, CEO of a large company. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 19:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
