What happens to your Wikipedia page when you leave a company?

Wikipedia articles do not get deleted when an executive changes roles, and they should not be allowed to drift out of date either. When an executive leaves a company, the article needs to be updated to reflect the change: the role change, any new position, and the proper framing of the prior tenure (past tense, accurate end date, sources covering the transition). Done through Talk-page edit requests with sources covering the move – typically a Bloomberg, Reuters, or Wall Street Journal piece confirming the change – the update is straightforward and community editors implement it quickly. Done badly or not at all, the article becomes a credibility liability: a CEO whose Wikipedia article still lists them at their previous employer signals that nobody is paying attention. For high-profile executives we manage these transitions proactively, often with the update submitted on the day of the announcement.
