At first glance, it looked like there was coverage, but most of the sources are mere mentions of the person or confirmation that he belongs to a group etc. In the end, it's a puff piece without significant coverage of the subject by reliable third-party sources. Would not oppose a redirect to his company article per WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME Niteshift36 ( talk) 17:09, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

His organization is still in the news. [1] Has this not already been discussed? 76.109.23.49 ( talk) 18:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)— 76.109.23.49 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- 1) No, there hasn't been an AfD discussion. 2) The notability of his company isn't the subject of discussion. This is about the notability of the individual. Being the CEO of a notable company doesn't give you a free pass to notability. Niteshift36 ( talk) 19:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect. No evidence of significant coverage in independent sources. Most of the sources aren't independent at all. I do not believe that the Who's Who entries are evidence of notability, as I believe these particular publications include all senior executives of all companies over a certain size. The Marquis Who's Who, in particular, allows subjects to submit their own biographies and boasts of having over 1.5M biographies. Pburka ( talk) 01:43, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
