The result was Userfy. Once the article clearly shows notability, it can be moved back to main space, preferably by an admin (not necessarily me, any admin will do). Randykitty (talk) 18:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Two possible sources of notability for this individual:
Assuming notability is not established by the pharmaceutical career, can a subject derive notability from an organization whose article was removed from the mainspace by consensus for not being notable?
If this looks familiar, welcome back :) Shall we salt the article on Michelle Caplan? (She is editor-in-chief of Fig Tree Books) ;) Vrac (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC) Vrac (talk) 14:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria says:
The Marin Independent Journal article provides substantial coverage, while the other sources can be "combined to demonstrate notability".If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
Globes notes that Price is "known as an executive who saves troubled companies".
Frederic D. Price was the CEO of BioMarin Pharmaceutical between February 2000 and August 2004. He was the CEO of Applied Microbiology in 1996. (See The New York Times's article about the company, where Price is extensively quoted.)
Price was a Vice President of Pfizer between 1973 and 1986 and the Vice President of Finance and Administration and CFO of Regeneron between 1991 and 1994. He served as the chairman of Omrix Pharmaceuticals between 2004 and 2008 and chairman and CEO of Chiasma between 2008 and 2013.
The article notes:
BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. Chairman and CEO Fredric D. Price resigned from his post yesterday, saying he was relocating to the East Coast to be with his family, which remained in New York's Westchester County when Price took the job in February 2000.
...
"It is difficult for me to leave, but personally, with my family on the East Coast, it is appropriate for me to relocate there," Price said.
Company officials hailed Price's role in leading the company in the midst of a long and financially turbulent transition from a research and development organization into a drugmaker with two products on the market and a third up for approval within a year.
"We wish Fred the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for his significant contributions," Lapalme said.
Price joined the firm in February 2000 to replace longtime friend and colleague Grant Denison Jr., who co-founded BioMarin in 1997. The pair met in 1973 and worked together for 13 years at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in New York City.
The article notes:
The restructuring included the bringing in of Fredric Price as chairman and CEO. He previously held several top positions in the life sciences industry, including chairman of Omrix Pharmaceuticals and BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRN). Together with Chiasma COO Dr. Roni Mamluk, who invented the company's technology, the company changed its technology and business model and embarked on a new road.
The article notes:
Price is quoted extensively in the article."There is bug called Lactococcus lactis, and as the name implies, it is found in milk," Frederic Price, the chief executive of Applied Microbiology, said. "This bug secrets a peptide, or a small protein, called nisin. Nisin's sole function in life is to act like an artillery shell and kill all other bugs that want to kill its mother. So we asked, why not try to develop nisin to kill bugs found in people? Or in food?"
The article notes:
Chiasma CEO Frederic Price has been appointed as chairman, and Dr. Roni Mamluk, who invented the company's technology, has taken over as CEO. Price is known as an executive who saves troubled companies, and Chiasma's investors apparently decided that his rescue skills are needed in more than one place.
The article notes:
Launched by Fredric Price, a successful drug developer with a deep interest in Jewish literature, Fig Tree plans to eventually publish in both print and digital editions about a dozen novels a year, both original works and re-releases of beloved classics that have either gone out of print or have never been available as an ebook.
The article notes:
Price is quoted extensively in the article.Big ifs do exist, admits Frederic D. Price, Regeneron's chief financial officer. "The product has to pass the test of safety and efficacy," said Price. "It can't harm people and it has to help them."
The article does not violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. It is offensive to suggest that I would create an article that violates BLP. Please be specific about why you think the article violates BLP.
I have maintained in my response above that the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability."

Regarding your comment that these are "not strong publications": How do any of the sources I have listed violate Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources#News organizations? All of the sources I have listed are "well-established news outlets". If a secondary source does not violate Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, it can be used to establish notability. This is consistent with Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people).
The article from Marin Independent Journal provides nontrivial coverage about Price's career:
These sources are not merely "about companies he has been involved with". They do not "include almost no information about him as a person". The sources can be "combined to demonstrate notability" as per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria.
