Can we get a pronunciation guide for the surname? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 11:13, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
The "Controversies" section is too much. First, it's singular -- controversy; only one event is referred to. Second, what is being discussed is the kind of mundane goings on every big-firm CEO deals with all the time. But third, and most important, we don't get to decide that what is being referred to constitutes a Controversy. So that in itself -- the assertion that it is controversial, to the extent that it be named "a controversy" -- would need a WP:RS. What might work is reducing the current section to a single statement, but adding a new one about the recent announcement about Fab 42?
Also, that last sentence in the lead, about attending hackathons and Best Buys. Really? I mean, who cares? That can go, surely?
I've tagged Controversies for WP:WEIGHT. Any thoughts before I hack it a bit? 2605:6000:F369:D000:6C98:6814:8DD1:FD ( talk) 21:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Done - I saw your note on ANI, which brought me here. I merged your proposed content, with two exceptions. I found a better source for his executive compensation and included that in the infobox, since that is noteworthy, and also put the controversies in a political activity section, per WP:CRIT, since the canceled fundraiser was actually a big deal. I remember reading about it last year. Also, FWIW, the IP user below seems to be violating WP:LEGAL by threatening you with EU legal repercussions. Others following me here can decide where to go with this. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:17, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, all. On behalf of Mr. Krzanich, I have drafted an expanded and updated article for consideration, which I've saved here: User:WWB Too/Brian Krzanich. The current article is just over 3 paragraphs long, and includes some inappropriate sourcing, including a press release, a company website, and Salary.com. With my new draft, I have developed an article that fits in line with other biographical Wikipedia articles about corporate executives. The draft provides overviews of Mr. Krzanich's early life and education, career at Intel, board service, and personal life. Mr. Krzanich has confirmed the accuracy of this draft, and I've worked to make content neutral and given due weight according to reliable secondary sourcing.
An important disclosure: As I stated above, I am working on behalf of Mr. Krzanich through my work with Beutler Ink. I will not edit this article directly and am seeking other editors' input and assistance in updating this article. I am willing to go through this draft section-by-section or in its entirety, depending on what others prefer. I'm also open to any feedback about article content or my process here. Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 16:13, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Drmies and Timtempleton: Thank you both again for copying over the proposed draft. Just one more request, if possible: Can we change "The fundraiser was widely seen..." to "The event was widely seen...", since Krzanich has said that it was not intended to be a fundraiser? Also, I don't think the line break after "semiconductor industry", in the same section, is necessary, since the content is directly related to the above paragraph.

Before being drawn into long exchanges with paid editors, volunteers should be aware that paid editors may be submitting evidence of their talk-page posts to justify their salaries or fees. No editor should be expected to engage in long or repetitive discussions with someone who is being paid to argue with them.
@ Drmies and Timtempleton: Over the weekend, this article was reverted by a different IP address (albeit one also located in India). Would one of you restore the longer draft, and is it time to consider semi-protection? 14:07, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

On behalf of Intel and Mr. Krzanich, I have uploaded an image to Wikimedia Commons and suggest it replace the existing photo in this article's infobox: File:Brian_Krzanich.jpg (currently in the OTRS permissions queue). It's a more recent image, and doesn't cast a partial shadow over his face. As noted before, I prefer not to edit the article directly given my financial COI, but I'm hoping another editor can add the image on my behalf. WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 17:36, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Done******@ Timtempleton, Beyond My Ken, and Crisco 1492: File permissions have been approved by OTRS. One of you willing to replace the photo? I would, but I follow Jimbo's "don't edit articles if you have a financial COI" strictly. Sorry for the bother.

I’ve semi-protected the talk page as the IP from India is IP hopping and evading blocks to post his comments here. -- Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 07:37, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
Regarding this reversion [1] the source ( SemiAccurate) seems ok to me for that info. The article quoted is a viewpoint interpreting observed facts about BK's departure, i.e. expressing opinions rather than making factual allegations about BK that haven't been reported elsewhere, and it's from a widely read industry publication. Also, the article was written by the site's founder (it wasn't something that came in over the transom), if that matters.
It seems to me that the interpretation is significant under NPOV and should be included, in the article about Intel if not here. It also (as I see it) doesn't say anything bad about Krzanich: if anything, it makes him look better. It was already very widely known that Intel's 10nm process was delayed multiple times and that yields were bad. That's a logical reason to change CEO's. The reason they gave (BK's involvement with another Intel staffer) makes it sound like something seriously ugly (even if consensual) was going on. If it was a reasonably normal relationship then well, that's how Bill and Melinda Gates met, and not something to flip out about. BK comes off better being fired for normal business reasons than over some lurking potential scandal left to the imagination.
So I support restoring the edit. Comments? 173.228.123.166 ( talk) 09:13, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
