Advice for German manager draft

Hi Karsten11, I'm messaging about a draft for a German manager, to see if you might have any advice. My name is Allison and I work for the global commercial real estate company JLL, so I have a conflict of interest with topics related to the company. Last year, my colleague submitted a draft to the German Wikipedia for JLL's CEO, Christian Ulbrich, which you reviewed and helped to clean up, which is why I am reaching out to you. I have been trying to establish an English Wikipedia article for Mr. Ulbrich, submitting a draft to Articles for Creation for review but the draft was declined twice, due to editors feeling that there are not enough in-depth sources about Mr. Ulbrich.

I've seen the guidance that typically editors will not delete a page if it is for a Fortune 500 CEO, but I don't know if that applies to creation, too. I also noticed that editors seem more comfortable with a very short article for an executive, if the notability is not as clear. To that end, I put together a short version of a draft for Mr. Ulbrich. Before I submit again, I wanted to seek out advice from editors who have experience with articles for German executives. Would you be willing to look at the short draft for Mr. Ulbrich and share any advice since you're familiar with the topic? Thanks, AHatJLL (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Im working mainly as admin in the german wikipedida. If there are questions regarding notability rules in the german wikipedia, I would be able to support with my experience. In the english version of wikipedia, I never participated in discussions on notability. So I can´t help. Sorry.--Karsten11 (talk) 09:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, Karsten11. I understand and I'll try reaching out to editors at WikiProject Germany instead, as they might be more familiar with this site's notability rules as well as German executives. AHatJLL (talk) 14:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
