Samarth Kulkarni: All of the sources cited are about the company, apart from this paywalled article in Stat about him winning a "best biopharma CEO" award reader poll.  He has appeared on television news to discuss the company and biotech more generally, but those are primary sources, and I couldn't find solid, significant coverage of him in reliable secondary sources to show that he's notable independent from the company.

Wikishovel ( talk ) 18:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi there Wikishovel, I sent a note on my Talk page but perhaps it's more relevant here.  My vote is to keep Kulkarni, and I disagree that he's a non-notable CEO due to the sheer amount of media mentions he has--paywalled and non-paywalled, in affiliation with his tenure at CRISPR.  I think he warrants a Wikipedia page alongside other biopharma CEOs of far less newsworthy companies, particularly since he's heading, as you mentioned, a notable company.  Would it help if I added/provided different or additional secondary sources?  I can have a look around and see what else is available on record.  Nathan Evo ( talk ) 18:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi, yes please: if you can find reliable sources with substantial coverage of him, rather than about the company, then please do add them.  Wikishovel ( talk ) 18:56, 28 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : Enough coverage about the company found, nothing for this person.  This is all I can find in a RS [56] that isn't a PR item; he is quoted in a brief paragraph of a few lines in an article about a conference.  Nothing for GNG.
