Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Godsall
The flaw in Mattskilly's logic is that notability for Wikipedia's purposes is not defined by the value of what a person ''does'', but by the depth and breadth of |reliable source coverage they have or haven't received ''for'' doing what they do. Godsall is not the ''subject'' of these sources, however, but merely has his name ''mentioned'' in coverage that is ''about'' his ''company'' rather than being about ''him'' — literally the ''only'' source here that's about Godsall as an ''individual'' is a purely |routine entry in a business directory. The sources here are largely very solid ones for the article about the ''company'', but they are not about ''Godsall'' to the degree needed to get him a ''standalone'' article as a ''separate'' topic from the company. He can absolutely be named in the company's article, but he's not automatically ''entitled'' to have a separate article about him as an individual ''separate'' from having his name mentioned in the company's article — being CEO of a company that has a Wikipedia article is not, in and of itself, an automatic inclusion freebie that ''exempts'' a person from having to be the ''subject'' of enough media coverage to clear GNG. But the sources here aren't helping him clear GNG — they're helping the ''company'' clear GNG, but they just ''mention'' Godsall while not being ''about'' him
