Boththe high rankiong of the blog, and the fact that this gentleman is involved in the talking-up of Walmart in the blogosphere, connote enough importance to warrant inclusion. At least take it to AfD if you insist on pursuing deletion. SailorfromNH 01:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The article was in fact nominated for deletion (successfully), but has been recreated a couple of times. To hopefully avoid going back and forth any more over this, I've written a little more and provided some references. --Michael Snow 05:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Rubel was "not personally involved" in the Wal-Mart thing according to the article. So in my mind, this qualifies for deletion. Even if he WAS involved it'd be iffy. You can't say he warrants an article just because he may or may not have been tied to one somewhat newsworthy incident. If he does qualify, how many million other executives do as well? I personally don't want to know about every single person down to this level of detail, and I don't think Wikipedia is intended for that. --Shyland 00:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
