Non-Notable person who fails both WP:BIO and WP:GNG yes he is one of American Express' executive drones and served on Yahoo! board but there is no other significant coverage. I hope we are not going to simply include someone because of their brief stint on a corporate board with no real other notability. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 21:00, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Easy call when there are absolutely no reliable independent sources to establish notability. Google turns up a big nothing. Completely fails WP:GNG. Msnicki (talk) 16:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete I was going to counter this simply because he is a low-profile individual who does not jump into the spotlight in a big way, but I should clarify this. He IS notable for his position and for being an important part of a major internet company, however the ability to verify key information about the individual leaves the article in a precarious place. If there was more information besides these brief mentions, the article would be a different case. As there is not enough coverage I will have to go with delete under concerns of the relevant policies. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Google search turns up no significant coverage. Even the claims at the article do not amount to notability. Served on the board of directors of a notable company; fairly high level executive (but not one of the highest) at another. --MelanieN (talk) 03:04, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
