I couldn't find significant coverage of Ms. Masisak in independent, reliable secondary sources. Moreover the tiny amount of coverage I did find was all about her position at TechSoup Global. (See WP:BLP1E.) -- Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Question: Can you do the same review for Daniel Ben-Horin? Hmlarson (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Good thought. I haven't done a completely thorough review for Ben-Horin but he does appear to have received significant coverage in Google Books. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:48, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting. 0 of the 2 references cited in the Daniel Ben-Horin article indicate adequate notability for inclusion on Wikipedia per policy. Hmlarson (talk) 04:33, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to TechSoup Global. That said, Hmlarson makes a good point, Daniel Ben-Horin should likewise be kept or merged on the same standard, as the only real difference is that he's a bit older and so there has been a bit more time for coverage, but in essence, if leading this company is notable for one person, it's notable for both.

 * , what material would you merge? Also, I'm not sure that's what 's point was, but maybe she can explain. Of course the notability of all BLPs is based on the same standard (WP:BIO). --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 05:19, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Pretty much all of it, for both of these CEOs. Or keep both, depending on how notable being the CEO of the company is.  My point is that if we don't think one (female) CEO is notable, then we do need to look at whether the previous (male) CEO is notable. Both bios could be merged into the TechSoup Global article, but if one of them is notable enough for a stand-alone article, I don't see much of an argument that the other is not equally notable, save for length of tenure.

 * Comment the text in this article is identical to the article on the World Public Library. How do we know which article was first and which was copied from the other? World Public Library MurielMary (talk) 10:15, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And I vote keep as she has won a couple of awards/prizes for the company's achievements. MurielMary (talk) 10:15, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep there are a few decent quotes in the the media, a few awards and some decent pubs in article refs. I've seen a lot worse voted keep.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 03:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * , I'm curious. What awards has she won? From what I could find, the coverage is really sparse and every single one refers to the fact that she is a CEO. I have not found anything which shows she is independently notable. We usually do not keep articles if the subject is covered only in relation to their job in a company. For example, see Articles for deletion/Dev Randhawa as a recent example. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment I will not cast a vote; I work for Rebecca, so a vote seems improper. However, two points: (1) To, the World Public Libarary appears to be a content farm that pulls info from Wikipedia (not the other way around). Check the links at the bottom of the article you linked. And (2) I have added a number of possible sources, which may or may not better establish notability, on the talk page of Rebecca's bio. Perhaps useful for expansion. (Not all will meet Wikipedia's reliable source definition, but perhaps some do.) -Bajeckabean (talk) 19:19, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
