[edit] Aaron LaBerge

Delete I'm just not convinced that he is notable enough to be worth an encyclopedia entry. It's not as if he's being said to have made any innovations, nor is in a position to make policy for his company. Caerwine 04:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. I have suspicions the article was written by a LaBerge family member Bwithh 05:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Corporate officers are not inherently notable. FCYTravis 05:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - meets WP:WEB with lots of media coverage. [1], [2], [3], and ESPN is a major company. Vice President of a major fortune 500 company makes him notable, I dare say. He's probably earning $1 million per year. Zordrac
  • Comment A million dollars ain't what it used to be. . WP:WEB doesn't apply here in my opinion, tho it would for the website, but it's the article on him, not the website that's being nominated. Caerwine 22:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Reply Meets WP:BIO by the exact same criteria that is in both policies. Out of WP:BIO, "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". Same thing but written differently. Zordrac 23:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
      • Response What newsworthy event is he alledged to have participated in? The 82 hits mentioned below are not a particularly notable number, especially for a modern person who makes his living working with computers. At best, this guy appears to warrant a mention on the ESPN.com article, if it were a separate article and not a redirect to ESPN, and even then that would be shaky since he appears to have nothing to do with the content side of the operation.

• Delete per nom. 82 Google hits for the Aaron Laberge at ESPN/Disney. There is an Aaron Laberge who posts a lot in forums and such, but the posts don't sound like an executive. They may be from his son. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 23:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I don't think one's salary even enters into it unless that's noteworthy in itself, as evidenced by publication in a business magazine's top earners list for example. Ifnord 00:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Dalbury. Show me the moneynotability. Turnstep 02:01, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
