Businessman BLP doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO - coverage is largely routine articles about appointments or interview-based pieces. Therefore the subject lacks in-depth coverage from independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Strong keep (creator) WP:ANYBIO specifies "the person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" and Roberto Vedovotto has led one global eyewear company for 8 years that is among the top 5 worldwide (Safilo Group), and is building a new company since 2014 (Kering Eyewear) which is now the second-largest group in luxury eyewear. The sources of the page are independent, reliable, and in many languages, so with an international notability demonstrated: (fr) Le Journal du Dimanche, (en) NYT, (it) Reppublica, (en) Fashion Network, (en) The Moodie Davitt Report, ... All those examples are WP:NOTROUTINE, the person is always the featured topic, and all is perfectly WP:V. --Burgmaestro (talk) 16:56, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment The New York Times was really from the International Herald Tribune and only is a brief biography, but I can't see any context around it. The Journal du Dimanche seems to talk about him opening a new building (but it's paywalled about halfway down the article). The Rebublicca seems ok. Oaktree b (talk) 02:03, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete most coverage I find is about the eye wear company. There's some coverage about potential insider trading, but that doesn't have extensive coverage. Oaktree b (talk) 02:06, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * or redirect to the eye wear company I suppose. That would seem ok. Oaktree b (talk) 02:09, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment When making such a claim, it is better to pick two sources that you think establish notability, and leave out the ones that clearly don't. This is especially true when some are behnd paywalls. BruceThomson (talk) 04:49, 27 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Safilo Group, the coverage available is just about the company and only mentions Vedovetto in passing, meaning he fails GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 04:46, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per Nom. Not opposed to Redirect as ATD. --  Otr500 (talk) 18:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Safilo Group, as a reasonable compromise. Bearian (talk) 14:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
