• Keep per WP:GNG. It's ridiculous that we keep everyone who's ever played in a single professional sports match, but wouldn't keep S&P 500 CEOs. The article isn't blatantly promotional, the AutoNews ref is somewhat substantial, and stuff like [1] isn't PR. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:52, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete but encourage someone without a COI to recreate. I don't believe notability is demonstrated as it stands. Deb (talk) 12:09, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete it seems to not meet WP:GNG or any of the notability polices. -Handoto 00:22, 2 May 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Handoto (talk • contribs)
• Delete: notability is marginal, while the article fails WP:PROMO quite obviously. Likely UPE. Let's not encourage spammers by keeping their articles. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I agree with User:power~enwiki. Chief executives of companies of this size are notable. As far as I'm concerned, this is no more than common sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:14, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the subject obviously passes notability guideline as a CEO of notable multinational business BorgWarner. I also don't find the article blatantly promotional to support TNT. Just WP:SOFIXIT. –Ammarpad (talk) 18:49, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Power, I don't see that the current version is promotional. Galobtter (pingó mió)

• Delete being one in power does not make someone notable. References are limited here as well. -Handoto (talk) 01:36, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep notable chief executive of a very large and influential multinational corporation. Plenty of substantial coverage. At worst it would be a merge, bit best covered independently as stand alone article. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:57, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
