"Chief Digital Officer" of Monaco, a country of 38,000 people. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Promotional article, created by a WP:SPA. Not seeing independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either in the article or elsewhere online - fails WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 15:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

• Comment I don't think the size of Monaco, a sovereign country, has any bearing on notability here. Atchom (talk) 18:18, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you, Atchom. The point I was trying to make was that one might make a case for the "Chief Digital Officer" of a large country being automatically notable. Edwardx (talk) 18:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

  Oh, in that case I agree! "Chief Digital Officer" is one of those titles that could literally be at any level of seniority (the government title version of clickbait I guess). Will ponder about it. Atchom (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Chief Digital Officers are not default notable, and we lack the sourcing to show notability here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
• Comment French sources are mostly mentions of his name promoting digital initiatives in Monaco. A few France 3 television stories where he's mentioned. Some mentions in the Monaco Tribune (in English) or La Tribune (in French). I don't see much about him as an individual. Tried Le Figaro, Le Monde and Liberation newspapers, they don't have much either... Oaktree b (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
