[edit] Crawford W. Beveridge

Was marked as {{nn-bio}}, but a comment left on the talk page indicates that this person's significance is debatable. I myself abstain. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - He's one of the top people, in one of the top company's that's very signficant in determing the development of the industry, which has a large impact on the world. --rob 23:35, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep 640 google seems like he isn't very popular, but as an executive at a Fortune 500 company, I think he deserves an article. -GregAsche (talk) 23:40, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as notable businessperson. Capitalistroadster 00:59, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, all officers from Sun are probably notable. Note that merely having a title called "Executive Vice President People and Places and Chief Human Resources Officer" is a good reason to sell your Sun stock. Bunchofgrapes 04:38, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain. I agree that in general top execs of Fortune 500 might be notable, at least if we agree that major league ballplayers are always notable. I myself do not: I think a better criterion would be to cite a featured profile in a magazine such as Business Week. Worried question for the author of the article: are you doing this as part of a job for this company? Are these articles you are creating, which you mentioned in the talk page for the article, simply going to duplicate information avaialable at the company website?---CH (talk) 02:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete in agreement with Hillman, pending specific citations beyond "was quoted in paragraph seven as spewing the standard corporate platitudes." How many EVPs does Sun have? (Some Fortune 500 companies have a dozen or more.) What evidence is there to indicate that he has (or, after he's dead, will be judged to have had) a lasting significant impact on his field of work? Aren't there a bunch of Sun engineers and programmers who actually have made more significant contributions than the guy in charge of hiring? Barno 20:03, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
