Cleaned up but not sure if subject fits notability criteria. Seems the only possible claim is being CEO of Livemocha, but does that entitle the subject to a separate article? Also, unsure of reliablity of sources. LordVetinari (talk) 03:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As well as being CEO of Livemocha, he is the former CEO of Classmates.com, and a former senior executive of RealNetworks and Monster.com. He's been interviewed by reliable sources on business and technology issues many times. His variety and depth of business experience make him notable.

- I think Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#No inherited notability answers that. I also question whether the subject is sufficiently notable to warrant a separate article. If a person is not notable outside the scope of an organisation, should they have an article outside the scope of that organisation? LordVetinari (talk) 02:52, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- I've ref'd some of this, although the CEOsherpa main page may not be independent, and someone else should remove citation tags after reviewing as I'm still new at this ;). Some details I've left commented out pending verification/further developments (e.g., full book citation). Are Amazon.com author bios WP:RS? Dru of Id (talk) 21:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
