This is the place for requesting articles on People in Business. Please keep in mind that somebody you think is important may not be widely notable, therefore, it may be better to start a stub article on them with one or two sources. Please at least note the field that you think the person is notable for, or some kind of distinguishing characteristic, as there ARE people with the same exact names (eg. Shuhei Fujioka and Shuhei Fujioka). For help on how to write biographies, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography.
