The result was redirect to Tech Data. While Billyatthewheels argued to keep the article per WP:NBUSINESSPERSON, questions about sources in relation to WP:NBIO and GNG were not answered. Multiple editors have suggested a redirect per WP:ATD. (non-admin closure) 4meter4 (talk) 15:48, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Sources are all passing mentions like "Hume is the CEO of Tech Data" or online resumes. I don't see in-depth coverage in RS. Does not meet GNG. MB 17:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: Although he technically passes WP:NBUSINESSPERSON, I'm struggling to find sources that go beyond a passing mention and the article is written like a resume. I guess you could alternatively redirect/merge into Tech Data. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 23:01, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  23:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC) 'Keep' I was double minded but I searched him and I think he passes the WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME. Just need to add some more references to make it more notable. This is my opinion. Thanks. Billyatthewheels (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Could you show some of these source because two other editors could not find anything but passing mentions. MB 04:15, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME is not a guideline or a policy. The correct notability guideline would be WP:NBIO Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Tech Data Corporation. I would not consider the sources added to be significant coverage independent of the subject, as they're mostly just short resume-like bios. As the CEO of a notable company the subject is a reasonable search term and so a redirect is appropriate. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
