Hi, Soo from Beyond Meat, here. I'd like to open a discussion about some of the content that was removed from the page (see the changes
here). Please consider the following points, which all focus on Ethan Brown himself and are appropriately sourced:
Remove "meat-substitute company Beyond Meat" and restore the previous text ("Beyond Meat"). This touches on a larger question that I brought up at
Talk:Beyond Meat regarding whether Beyond Meat's products should be called "meat substitutes"/"meat analogues" or "plant-based meat." I believe "plant-based meat" is better because this term is the way that most reliable sources refer to it. But in this article, we have the luxury to avoid that debate entirely in the lead by just saying "Beyond Meat" and leaving it at that.
Restore mention of Ethan Brown's work at the NGA Center in "Early career"- perhaps this wasn't clear in the initial formatting, but the reference at the end of this section applies to this statement as well: Brown worked as an energy analyst for the
National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, and then as a clean energy executive for Canadian fuel cell developer Ballard Power Systems for eight years.
Restore: "On May 2, 2019, Brown rang the opening bell at
Nasdaq when Beyond Meat went public under the symbol BYND."[1] This was a noteworthy event in Brown's career, not a trivial or routine incident.
Restore: Brown is also a director of The PLANeT Partnership, Beyond Meat's joint venture with
PepsiCo.[2][3] This is a significant director role in which Brown serves.
Regarding the awards- thank you for pointing out the issue there. Please restore the UNEP Award and Bloomberg award, as these are both notable awards in their own right:
In 2018, Brown was selected as one of the
UNEP's Champions of the Earth in the category of science and innovation for his "work towards reducing our dependence on animal-based foods."[4]
Already done Hi. The meat-substitute descriptor is meant to inform readers what Beyond Meat is, as it is not self-explanatory. Removing it would require you seek consensus. I'd be happy to include the NGA bit if you provided a quote from the source that's behind a paywall. The Nasdaq bit is currently present in the article (I agree it is relevant). So are the Pepsi partnership (although I'm not entirely sure it's notable) and awards, so I'm closing this request.

Requested move 24 September 2021
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– Ethan Brown of Beyond Meat is the clear primary topic for the name "Ethan Brown," as demonstrated by
page views. Ethan Brown of Beyond Meat receives several times more page views than any other Ethan Brown on a consistent daily basis.

Oppose move as proposed. I believe the article is too new to use page views as a indicator; we need to see that this level of interest is long term, rather than short term. Further, even if this level of coverage is long term, I don't believe it is sufficient to establish the Beyond individual as the primary topic, particularly given the Journalist is clearly on a "downswing" in coverage right now, coverage that will likely increase the next time they publish a book. I believe the correct move is to move
Ethan Brown (disambiguation) to Ethan Brown, and have no primary topic.
Strong support 2nd, neutral on 1st, the executive has 3,850 views compared with 601 for the journalist and 159 for Ethan Allen Brown, primary topic swaps can cause problems but at least the journalist isn't primary so should be moved. Crouch, Swale (
