Neither a G5 nor a G4, but I still don't see that factors have changed since this was deleted as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brenton L. Saunders. Yes, he has joined Boards, changed roles but there's nothing to indicate he's a notable businessman including the Forbes cover. I don't see a viable ATD given his ties to multiple companies.

Keep. That prior AfD was very thinly attended and didn't get the right outcome. Saunders was CEO of Allergan, an S&P 500 company. That should have been good enough by itself. Then he became CEO of Bausch and Lomb, another, even bigger, megacorporation, both of these should meet some SNG, but I'm not an expert in this area, so let's look at WP:BASIC. There are hundreds of reliable sources that provide significant coverage of Saunders: here are a few. I will probably add some more later.

Comment. Here are a few more: [6][7][8][9][10]. Creating clippings, fixing the url and posting here is a bit painstaking. If you would like, go to newspapers.com to find many, many more. Jacona (talk) 03:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't spend hours.

I assume most who participate will have or can get access. What do you think has changed most since March 2022. My primary concern remains that while the mergers are notable, I haven't found enough to indicate he was the key figure in them. Happy to keep looking on my end as well.

Star Mississippi, In March 2022, the AfD was really not worked. As far as being a key figure, he was the CEO of two of the biggest corporations on the planet. He at times held other significant roles, such as COO. There is a wealth of WP:SIGCOV in multiple WP:INDEPENDENT, WP:RS. He met WP:BASIC then, and he still does. — Jacona (talk) 04:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I may have not made it clear, he is the current CEO of B&L, a position he has apparently held twice, as well as being the current chairman of the board. [11] — Jacona (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep given status as leader of two massive companies that affect the daily lives of millions. SIGCOV is extensive, I’m not sure where to even start with a comment like “there's nothing to indicate he's a notable businessman including the Forbes cover.” WilsonP NYC (talk) 04:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WilsonP NYC, You're right, this is a heck of an endorsement for WP:N. — Jacona (talk) 04:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As others have set out in detail, the subject clearly meets WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk)
