Notability box
editA notability box was placed on this article. For starters, any cabinet-level official of a U.S. state agency is or should be considered to meet notability threshold, in my opinion. Here are a couple of others currently from Wisconsin: Peter Barca, Preston Cole, Jill Underly and Emilie Amundson.
I would argue wikis are an important way to help ensure public accountability, and a cabinet official should automatically meet this threshold. I would also argue notability is established by circumstances -- she is first woman to hold the post and did not give a campaign contribution before getting the job, also a first. Both are notable.
That said, Ms. Hughes appears to be unusually visible in the news media: in Wisconsin, across the nation, and overseas. For example:
- CNBC June 2021
- CNBC July 2021
- Chicago Tribune Nov 2020
- Washington Post July 2020
- Taiwan News April 2021
- Wall Street Journal Oct 20, 2020
- Wall Street Journal Oct 12, 2020
Then there is this Google search just on one subject, generating more than 4,000 returns: Hughes and Foxconn
The article is merely a stub; notability is established; anyone welcome to expand. Meantime, comments welcome. Absent opinion to the contrary, I will remove notability box.Tomtillet (talk) 04:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
