because removing info it says not to remove doesn't mean it's no longer a draft. You have to re-submit it and wait for an independent editor to review it. Please also disclose any other accounts you may be using. Star Mississippi 23:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AfC discussion[edit]

Thank you, Star Mississippi. As far as I can determine, Machin has little if any hinterland. I can find nothing about his parents, origins, education or any real personal life. However, a lack of "notability independent" from the organisation is not unusual for large company CEOs, and I do not believe that that is necessary to meet WP:SIGCOV. I have added two more paragraphs at the end of "Career" that are closer to what you might be looking for. At the end of the day, the article would surely survive the AfD process, so should be moved into mainspace. Edwardx (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Edwardx: I feel like I've seen business people AfDs go both ways, merge to their organization and/or remain standalone, but that's feel and not an actual analysis as I'm not sure how to find closed business people AfDs. I see your point though that it's unlikely to be deleted. I'll accept as you've beyond addressed the issues that led to three of us draftifying. Someone can take it to AfD if they believe Machin shouldn't be covered. MY personal opinion is a merger would make sense, but that's not a reason not to accept a well written article. Doing so now.
