Notability[edit]
@AltruisticHomoSapien: How is the subject notable? I don't see how being the appointee to the CEO of a bank fits WP:NPERSON, and moreover even if it did there's no independent notability. Also please note that the article has previously been deleted for the same reasons at AfD. Fermiboson (talk) 12:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Fermiboson,
- There's coverage in the WSJ going as far back as 2005.[1]
- Kotak Mahindra Bank happens to be a one-of-a-kind bank in India — not one of several thousand businesses or startups that have raised Series A or Series B funding.
- The reason there's significant coverage of his appointment today is because of the notability of the bank. Since the previous CEO was the founder himself, it's a matter of great curiosity and significance as to who is going to follow in the footsteps of the founder.
- The news is covered in Reuters e.g. [2]
- He has previously featured in the UK media as a major banker in the UK. [3]
- The sum total of all this is that this news has been found to be significant enough to find coverage in all the major Indian news outlets like The Economic Times, Livemint, Business Standard, etc. and also in international finance news sites such as Bloomberg and CNBC.
- All this adds up to significant notability of the individual and the individual merits a Wikipedia page as long as editors adhere to Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons guidelines. AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 16:32, 21 October 2023 (UTC) AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 16:32, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
