There are only two RS, Breen is not independently notable outside of his company, Nothing significant except his executive position, no major awards, no major appointments, lacks sufficient WP:RS to establish his independent notability, fails WP:GNG. Meeanaya (talk) 17:40, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

- Comment I'm not going to vote either way as my father was a legal executive at Tyco for many years worked with Ed Breen on a regular basis and so growing up hearing his name all the time has undoubtedly warped my opinion of his notability. Still, I do believe the current sources lean towards passing WP:GNG, plus more coverage from USA Today, The Associated Press, CNN, and appears quite often on CNBC. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:00, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The current references could be better (some of the coverage is superficial, some is not from objective sources) but with that and the links posted by GPL93, I think we have enough to pass WP:BIO. It sounds weird to me that we could consider the CEO of a company with a revenue of $86 billion not notable. Pichpich (talk) 21:34, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
