Aaron Rubashkin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Reason: The article isnt about the person himself; all the information is about the company, which has its own article. Completing unfinished nom for User:Ironholds, apparently twinkle choked. I abstain. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, the twinkle linking broke. Ironholds (talk) 09:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete, seems slightly notable but not really anything written about him as distinct from his company. Alternatively redirect. Stifle (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep sufficient sources for notability as a businessman. Heads of notable companies are notable. He is individually a major community figure, and I hope more information to that effect will be added.DGG (talk) 02:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
    • WP:NOTINHERITED. Stifle (talk) 08:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
      • is that support for deletion or keep? i read it as support for deletion, but i just want to make sure. Ironholds (talk) 10:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
        • Generally it is support for deletion. Stifle (talk) 13:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to Agriprocessors. The sources are primarily about the company, only incidentally about him. The book apparently has a lot of inofrmation about him but it's not about him, it's about the community and the industry and agribusiness trends with his company being a case study. --Dhartung | Talk 00:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge per Dhartung. It seems that the company is more notable than the person. Jakew (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge This article is definitely notable. The only question is whether it would be easier to avoid WP:BLP by redirecting to the main article on agripocessors. In any case, just deleting the article would be idiotic considering the tremendous media attention focused on this family and company right now.--Chakira (talk) 23:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
