John A. Fraser (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unremarkable person - VP of a regional branch of a large company but not notable for any other reason. Similar reasons resulted in deletion of Michael Duck (Articles for deletion/Michael Duck) who from memory worked for the same company.

 * Keep. Featured in national newspaper articles, eg . Obviously a very senior business leader and former public servant. Described as "The man who by most reasonable definitions is the most influential Australian executive in international finance". Sounds notable to me. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:33, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: the Wall Street Journal article establishes notability, as far as I'm concerned. Buddy431 (talk) 01:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Sufficiently notable careeron the basis of the sources.    DGG ( talk ) 02:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete don't see how he meets WP:ANYBIO. . LibStar (talk) 02:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that search is affected by the un-Australian inclusion of his middle initial. See for example the piece in The Australian linked in my !vote above.--Mkativerata (talk) 03:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * here's a revised search . LibStar (talk) 05:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Which again misses the feature in The Australian. For what it's worth he has an entry in Who's Who (offline) although there's nothing there of substance that isn't already in the article.--Mkativerata (talk) 08:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Ample coverage can be found with a Google search (eg.   ), and while many of these are corporate biographies, in this article he is named as a possible future reserve bank governor, and in this article (the same one Mkativerata mentioned above), he is described as "The man who by most reasonable definitions is the most influential Australian executive in international finance".   -- Lear's Fool (talk &#124; contribs) 12:56, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
