Jamie B. Stewart

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Former president of a bank. Most of the article reads like a resume and was created by a single purpose account in 2008. The article heavily relies on primary sources. Mkdw talk 08:34, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

 * I was the original creator of this posting. Sorry if I didn't adhere to criteria for bios; I was using this and a couple of other posts as a way to figure out how Wikipedia works, and was learning as I went along. My reasons for contributing the article about Mr. Stewart was that I had heard he was writing a scholarly article about the way the Fed Reserve of NY worked during 9/11, and I thought that was of historic importance. While his background is primarily as a banking exec, I thought that the people who served on the Fed's Board of Governors during this period were of historical significance.
 * Some individuals are deemed to be important such as government officials who hold public office, but typically individuals such as executives who have served on boards, even for notable companies aren't inherently notable by proxy. They need to demonstrate their own notability. WP:ANYBIO recommends that an individual win a significant award, or that they have an "enduring historical record in his or her specific field" which will be established from significant and in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources.

 * Delete and draft & userfy if needed, as simply none of this suggests even minimally better satisfying the notability guidelines. SwisterTwister   talk  06:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or move to draft I do indeed think each President  of the NY Federal Reserve Bank is a major public official, especially as an exofficio member of the Federal Open Market Committee, the 12 most importat people in the US Financial system,, and that we need a bio on every one of them, past and present (this has not I think  come up here before, because usually they have become notable in some other position first) But in any case, I'm fairly sure that more refs could be found. If the article is not kept, it should be moved to draft.  DGG ( talk ) 02:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep the positions this individual has held render him notable. The article is poorly written, but isn't what I would call promotional, and so I see no good argument to userfy. Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:01, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
