The result was no consensus. The particiapnts here are about evenly split, which normally results in a no consensus result, but I was quite close to calling this a delete anyway. Many of the keep voters point to the sources, but looking at the sources shows that Gene93k's analysis is mostly correct, the sources seem to be more about the company, and some of them make no mention of the CEO at all. Nonetheless, I am closing this with no consensus because NJ Wine pointed out the presence of a Bloomberg Businessweek profile which does feature Hall in a short descriptive text. I myself remain unconvinced whether such a short profile is sufficient basis for notability and a biography (had I voted, it would probably be for deletion), but it isn't a ridiculous argument either, so I will give this article the benefit of the doubt.

Another editor has declined a speedy deletion for this company executive, apparently because his company is notable. A similar article was apparently previously speedy deleted. There doesn't seem to be any in-depth coverage about Hall, the Sydney Morning Herald article (cited in the new article) merely mentions Hall briefly. He may be an executive of a notable company but he does not meet WP:GNG notability requirements himself. People do not inherit notability from the company that employs them, do they?
