I was only able to find two sources about him ([1], [2]) which have barely any information outside of the fact that he is the chairman and director of various companies. Does he meet WP:NBIO? Laurel Wreath of Victors ‖ Speak 💬 ‖ 00:38, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gala Inc.. Search finds subject is mentioned in many product announcements, but only in the official contact information as the responsible corporate officer for Gala Inc. WP:SIGCOV of subject in particular not found, and subject cannot inherit notability from company. Alternative to deletion is to redirect to Gala Inc.

Merge into the article about the company, "Gala Inc." Subject does not possess adequate, independent notability, since notability cannot be gifted from another entity. The article was created by an editor who, as he states, was employed by Gengo and after quitting the payroll started promoting the company to whomever he encounters in Wikipedia who does translations. (Examples here, here, here, here, and here.) -The Gnome (talk) 09:42, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
