Does not meet GNG or BIO. Prod removed by IP. Discussion on talk, but no substantial changes or additions for over a week (conservatively; I'd really say almost two, and not since the day after creation). This is another one of those articles where no one hears about the person until after they've died, and there is simply no coverage prior to obituaries. Almost all of the sources are obituaries, and the only one that isn't is a quote from Fortune whereby it is stated that the subject was on a list of powerful women execs (because the source is actually a quote about the subject's mother). Per GNG, there is no substantial coverage, and per BIO, the depth of sources is poor (it took six obits to write four sentences). Those sources are reliable and independent, but the lack of depth hampers the "presumption of notability". The gist of the argument on talk is that Covey is "notable" for being a CFO and through that position, raising money for Amazon's IPO. As we know, notability is not inherited, meaning the subject is not notable due to working for Amazon, or for anything related to the day-to-day performance of her job (which is what the fundraising was about; that is part of what CFOs in all companies in similar situations do as a rule). The following may be an OTHERSTUFF argument, but it seems that while CEOs (like Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, Carly Fiorina, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos) can often meet GNG due to coverage of their management and generally high profile in other areas, their CFOs generally do not.

Keep Obituaries are sufficient to indicate notability, and constitute the kind of coverage that is required by the notability guideline. Status as first female CFO adds to notability. Coretheapple ( talk) 16:00, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
