Lack of notability; most sources used are either primary (the academic institutions that the subject is affiliated to), or non-independent secondary (college newspaper to which the subject is affiliated. There is also the possibility of sockpuppetry as the main contributors have only or mostly just edited this article (see edit logs of Curation architecture, Foxstreet9, Archhistory_curator). Further this article was previously deleted in 2008 (but maybe for a different person of the same name?) also for lack of notability, and in 2021 a draft of the article was deemed not publishable for similar reasons. Some potential counterarguments to deletion are that albeit brief, the article is well structured, appears to include citations for all claims, is well illustrated, and the subject has received some awards.

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Almost all of the citations either have a connection to the subject, are self-published, or include a passing mention. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 18:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * An uncomprehensive WP:BEFORE check found multiple other Alex Donahues, and the same types of citations bad for WP:GNG. — PerfectSoundWhatever  (t; c) 18:26, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems WP:NOTYET to me. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 00:06, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet WP:GNG Kazanstyle (talk) 13:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
