nominating for a deletion and redirect after trying to boldly redirect it. There is no evidence that Alexander Taylor is notable independent of his position on several boards/as CEO. There is no in depth coverage and his name is generally only mentioned in passing or as a part of standard business publications. Praxidicae (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @Praxidicae: Not saying you are wrong but Taylor is the president and CEO of Cox Enterprises, a notable company. Its chair James C. Kennedy has its own page. Why do you think Kennedy should have it but Taylor should not? castorbailey (talk) 06:21, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -from what I can see, he probably meets WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bearian, I see 9 results from news. 1 is the press release for his becoming COO, 2 & 3 are local news articles about that and his joining the company's board. 4 & 5 are about his grandma giving away her money. 6 is the announcement of his joining the board in his college newspaper. 7 is about Taylor Swift and Lamar Alexander. 8 is about Vanderbilt, his alma mater, whose board he is on. 9 is about wealthy American dynasties and mentions his name. What are you seeing? --valereee (talk) 16:45, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.He's new as CEO but with family ownership he will be among the richest and most powerful for a long time.--12.144.5.2 (talk) 04:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No desire as yet to Delete, however, the specific RS that would confirm GNG have not yet been provided at this AfD; a non-notable CEO of a notable CORP is likely to become a ReDirect; try a re-list

I see a lot of claims that he's notable but no one has provided any actual sources to establish that he is actually notable. Having a job (and being "rich") does not make one notable, nor does being in the family business. He doesn't have any coverage of him as an individual.

Redirect to Cox Enterprises. Being a COO isn't enough to show notability. Maybe he'll become notable, but right now he's just a CEO who serves on some charitable foundation boards just like every other COO/CEO. --valereee (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
