Very far from meeting WP:BIO. I am unable to find any substantial coverage of the subject in reliable sources. SmartSE (talk) 13:42, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

I found some substantial coverage and put it in the article. Among others from The Wall Street Journal. The structure of the article very similar in to other board members. E.g. Dieter Zetsche. Kaufmann is a board member of an industrial legend Thyssenkrupp. There he is also responsible for North America. He is also Vice President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany. Kaufmann is member of the Atlantic-Brücke as well.Riesling2013 (talk) 6 September 2019 —Preceding undated comment added 15:05, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

• Keep These biography of a board member of a German DAX company, ThyssenKrupp, has the same structure as the biographies of the following other board members: For example Lisa Davis (businesswoman) (Siemens), Andreas Renschler (TRATON VW), Peter Schwarzenbauer(BMW), Kasper Rørsted (Adidas), Timotheus Höttges (Telekom), Bill McDermott (SAP), Ola Källenius (Daimler AG), Dieter Zetsche and Jürgen E.

• Keep Strong References and same relevance like other Board Members. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.101.62 (talk) 18:30, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. The sources do not have the necessary depth to meet WP:BIO. As an example, take the Wall Street Journal reference that has been highlighted. This is simply a directory entry. It is one of no less than 40 such entries on Thyssenkrupp executives. As an obiter dictum, all the 'keep' views have been made by accounts/IPs with little or no other contributions. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 20:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
