Should the paragraph about this guy be turned into it's own article. The information about his other activities and board memberships seems to be out of place in this Alcoa article.

Is there a "lower limit" to who deserves their own article? And if he doesn't pass that test, should the non-Alcoa information just be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by XKL (talk • contribs) 18:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I was surprised to see the paragraph about him, also. Especially since there was no mention of Arthur Vining Davis. I think he is notable enough to have his own article, but decided to leave it in until that article is written. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 17:10, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some sources edit

https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-uneasy-alliance-between-aluminum-and-warfare/ has more good stuff in it. "From Monopoly to Competition: The Transformations of Alcoa, 1888–1986" (ISBN 978-0521352611) looks like a great specific source, though it appears to be out of print. If anyone can find a copy at their library or used book seller, that'd be great, as Amazon wanted an arm and a leg for a copy. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
