No extensive coverage of Wingate and being CEO of International Nickel Company does not meanWP:INHERIT. A before search yield significant primary sources/correspondences regarding the company but not about him ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 22:06, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, on the strength of the NYT article, which says he was "president of International Nickel, the world's largest producer of nickel and a major producer of other metals". Kablammo (talk) 16:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no criteria (to my knowledge) that a CEO is automatically notable because their company is notable. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 09:14, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Google Books brings up dozens of mentions of him and several call him a business leader. In addition to NY Times and the Harvard coverage, he has been on the cover Forbes on December 1, 1967. I cannot find a citation for it online, other than a site selling a hard copy.Royal88888 (talk) 07:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any WP:SIGCOV of him? I agree he is mentioned in numerous places as being a business leader/CEO etc..but any in-depth articles is what we're looking for to establish notability. The Forbes article sounds promising, I will check my subscriptions and or ask someone else. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 09:16, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: More specific analysis of the depth to which sources cover this person may be helpful in reaching a consensus as to his notability.

Keep Acknowledging that it does not mean WP:INHERIT, NYT obituary is nice. There are partial notability supplements. Being on the cover of Forbes definitely meets something, and Harvard Business School regards Wingate as a top leader in the 20th century. Additionally, aren't the requirements for deceased people slightly looser than living people? TLA (talk) 03:23, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - The Harvard Business School entry seems like a usable source, and the 1967 Forbes cover feature almost certainly has SIGCOV in the actual article even if we can't access it at this moment. It seems quite likely that further offline sources exist given that the subject died in 1982. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
