Hal houser

Tagged as an A7 nn-bio speedy, but it's a fairly dodgy one as it does assert significance in some ways. Anyway, it's a managing director for BearingPoint - not sure it's "notable" enough for here though, probably not. No opinion WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 19:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Managing directors, in the UK and commonwealth sense, of very large companies probably are notable, but in the US that's a couple of steps down the ladder. Looking at a list of BearingPoint's top management [1], he isn't on it. A search finds very little on him, but does find this [2] which looks awfully familiar. I'm not sold on this one, delete.

  • Thanks for your reasoned opinion - we need more of that here :). WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 20:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• delete reads more like a CV than an encylopedia article. Non-notable. Atrian 20:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment seems like the MD of a large firm which clearly meets WP:CORP, does that not qualify automatically? If kept needs aggressive cleanup, though, as stated above. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 22:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Ah, but surely you mean MD in the British sense. The person who fills that position for Bearing Point is Chief Executive Officer Harry L. You, who doesn't have an article yet. Average Earthman 00:25, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Guy, I don't think so. Maybe that is the case with large companies like Coca-cola, but for smaller companies like this one I believe the managing director should have some other claim to notability. JoaoRicardo^talk 17:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete it is, then, per above persuasive arguments and the substandard current content. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 17:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Not a member of the company's top management team, as per Average Earthman's link. The only verifiable details in this article are essentially a CV (such as where he got his MBA). The rest is unverifiable business-speak jargon. Delete. Sliggy 23:19, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. What Average Earthman said. JoaoRicardo^talk 17:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
