More sources
I found this [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Nominations_Hearing_Ninety_first_Congres/ihY3AQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Francis+G.+Meyer&pg=PA14&printsec=frontcover which is the hearing for his nomination. They give a lot more information on his background, tell of his career with the agriculture department and Civilian Conservation Corps. It is however a pimary source, and Wikipedia is not supposed to be based on primary sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Francis G. Meyer
Francis G. Meyer may have held a notable position. However the sources listed are a reference to a volume of congressional hearings, which is a primary source, and the state departments own list of the holders of his position. Even if we grant a government related exception to the independent prong of GNG, this is a bare list that says nothing of substance about the person.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have my doubts, too, as to whether Asst. Sec of Stat for Administration is a position that warrants any presumption of notability. I did find this and this in the way of "local boy makes good" but I'm not sure if he passes GNG either. Cbl62 (talk) 15:01, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
