This was previously deleted with a unanimous 10 out of 10 delete vote. It has been reinstated, again by a COI/SPA (an issue which plagued the original) for what appears to be overtly promotional reasons.

I tried to CSD it when I noticed it had returned, but an admin (User:Boing! said Zebedee) rejected it with the reasoning 'Article is quite different from the AFD-deleted one, with signficantly different sources'. To me, from memory, it has a very similar tone. Feels almost identical to the article I remember nominating (bearing in mind this was 9 months ago and I can't see it).

I am still utterly unconvinced. I do not consider what I see as significant, independent coverage - several articles about Amazon have a quote from him, a short soundbite given by virtue of his role with them. Just one article actually focuses on him in a manner in which I would consider supports the notability argument, a feature in the Puget Sound Business Journal.

This seems to be very routine and minimal coverage, and does not add up to notability sufficient for WP:GNG. For example, Jo Bertram from Uber (UK/Europe manager) gets considerably more press coverage than him (e.g. when commenting on a ruling by TfL or regarding labour law) but still does not have an article, perhaps because this coverage is considered WP:Routine. In comparison, the few sources in this article constitute minimal coverage and not what is enough to sustain an article. Rayman60 (talk) 01:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can see the deleted version, and while some of the wording has been altered, the structure and content are pretty much the same. In some places, there are near-identical constructions, like "he drives programs" (deleted version) vs "where he is responsible for driving the product" (current). I concur that this article still doesn't demonstrate notability per the nominator's reasoning. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete For example, I looked at the New York Times article, but the star of that one is Andrew R. Jassy, who is a senior vice president. This person is just manager of "product strategy" (marketing?) with one promotional quote. W Nowicki (talk) 19:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
