Notability

Comment: C. John Wilder qualifies as notable under Wikipedia guidelines for several reasons. Wilder is the former CEO of TXU, a Fortune 500 company he led from 2004-7, which means if this page were published, guidelines say it should not be deleted. See the AfD guidelines: WP:NBUSINESSPERSON. But he also is well qualified under standard WP: Notability (people). There have been multiple in-depth articles focused on Wilder in highly prominent news sources such as CBS: “Growing smaller: Wilder re-energizes Texas utility by scaling back business; The Wall Street Journal: Wilbur Ross Turns to Ex-TXU CEO to Save Exco, and Bloomberg: Wilbur Ross’s ‘Turnaround Titan’ Tries to Beat the Oil Rout In addition, there are several other articles where he is prominently featured, which are not feature stories about him. Under WP:BIO: even if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. Press coverage in which Wilder is featured prominently includes: includes three articles in the Wall Street Journal “How Shale-Gas Boom Led to Demise of Energy Future Holdings”, “How a Texas Power Company Got Tough With Consumers”, and “Elliott Pushes for Changes at NRG Energy”, and “For Buyout Kingpins, the TXU Utility Deal Gets Tricky” in the New York Times. Many of these sources are behind paywalls, so I’ve left relevant excerpts in the quote section of the citations. Please also see my COI disclosure on Talk.
