Deletion of Conrad Abbott

Comment: Indeed, I can also find zero sources which attest to anything about this purported executive. Even in the highly unlikely event that he ever did actually hold the claimed role, businesspeople aren't handed an automatic notability freebie in the ''absence'' of any |reliable source coverage about them in real media — this is ''exactly'' why I always harp on the fact that the notability test for people is not the things the article ''says'', but the quality and depth of the ''sourcing'' that can or can't be shown to ''support'' that the things it says are ''true''. But as the response thread on that N-Sider tweet reveals, the ''much'' more likely explanation here is that some random teenage gamergeek named Conrad Abbott decided to try to anoint himself a corporate president on a user-generated discussion forum for shits and giggles — and as noted by the nominator, all of the sources that "support" the claim indeed took ''their'' information ''from us'', and thus aren't legitimate verification that he ever really held the role. A person who had actually been president of the Canadian division of a major multinational corporation would have gotten coverage in at least Canadian newspapers — as witness the fact that in the exact same database, I literally get ''hundreds'' of hits on "Nintendo Canada" which ''do'' name senior executives with that company (such as Ron Bertram and Pierre-Paul Trépanier.) But in the entire past 40 years, the only "Conrad Abbott" who has ever gotten one word of coverage in any Canadian newspaper was a non-notable second-place finisher in a local Kiwanis Music Festival, not a president of Nintendo Canada. Burn it with fire, and brimstone, and maybe even some |salt
