Why is notability being questioned by User:John B123. She is the first woman to be named as executive of a Class 1 railroad. The person she's succeeding Carl Ice has a Wikipedia article, so isn't the successor of a notable individual also notable? And aren't WSJ and Forbes reliable secondary sources? What else is needed?

@Truthanado: Please read the notability guidelines - notability is not inherited. Whilst you can argue that she is as notable as Carl Ice because of the job, you could equally argue she is not as notable as Ice as she hasn't had a college named after her. As far as I'm aware, there are no guidelines that make being a CEO an automatic reason to pass notability. From WP:ANYBIO: People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. --John B123 (talk) 20:04, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
