The result was delete. I see a consensus to Delete this article. If an editor wants to work on the article in Draft space and submit it for review to AFC, contact me or make a request at WP:REFUND. It's unfortunate that no improvements were made to the article over the course of the past week but if it is draftified, it will need substantial work to be accepted back into main space. Liz Read!

I find it rather concerning that this article (which is arguably just an extensive list) was made as an undiscussed
WP:CONTENTFORK and duplication of
the Walt Disney Company#Leadership section, as well as other sections of people at the specific company units (ie
Marvel Studios#Key people). I will note that, while the major shareholders are notable given the highly-profiled proxy fight, they do not suit major positioning that warrants a separate article for corporate leadership in a list and would be more beneficial in a section on the main article and in its infobox. Much of this list is comprised of unsourced or poorly formatted contents which seem like a cut-and-paste of the official Disney websites' hierarchical structure listings as opposed to providing any actual input or information as to who all of these people are and why they are all relevant to the leadership of a multinational conglomerate with millions of assets. Surely not all of them have an impact on the leadership.
WP:PEOPLELIST states: "Because the subject of many lists is broad, a person is typically included in a list of people only if both of the following requirements are met:
The person meets the Wikipedia notability requirement.
The person's membership in the list's group is established by reliable sources.
There are some common exceptions to the typical notability requirement:
If the person is famous for a specific event, the notability requirement need not be met. If a person in a list does not have a Wikipedia article about them, a citation (or link to another article) must be provided to: a) establish their membership in the list's group; and b) establish their notability on either
WP:BLP1E or
WP:BIO1E.
In a few cases, such as lists of people holding notable positions, the names of non-notable people may be included in a list that is largely made up of notable people, for the sake of completeness.
"
I find it incredibly hard to believe that the vast majority of these persons included in this list are remotely notable, let alone relevant, to the company's overall and general leadership. They're not unit heads, on the company board, shareholders, or top-ranking/important execs. And for those that are notable, they are covered with more relevance at each individual unit's article, and ought not to all be compiled in this list, which is essentially looking for a purpose when everything relevant is already covered elsewhere. And if the notable persons are not mentioned, such content ought to be split to the relevant articles, not stockpiled here. If this were an article discussing Disney's history with leadership and succession issues, that would be a different story, though such splitting ought to be discussed at the main talk first to avoid such lists like this and AfDs from happening. There may be some merit in crafting an article on the highly-publicized proxy fight in which leadership and succession has been addressed, though this list is not the answer to that.
