As was noted in 2015, the subject may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. In addition the article asserts a lot of information about its subject that has never been backed up by citations. Should this article be deleted? Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 03:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet GNG/BIO. I've found a couple issues of a magazine that quote subject, there's also this PR piece but nothing even close to GNG. Ping me if anything is found for GNG. &mdash;siro&chi;o 04:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. As with military people and high-performance athletes, there's a chance their activities after they change careers may also demonstrate notability. This, while not a reliable source, shows someone with the same name and the same university. He seems to have left that company. Other sources show him working as an executive for various small-capitalization firms, some in  cannabis-related businesses  https://www.thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AdyFPXb4-arev-nanotec-appoints-chad-s-johnson-esq-as-special-counsel-for-corporate-development.html     https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/x-change-appoints-harvard-law-school-graduate-chad-s-johnson-esq-to-the-board-of-directors-as-chief-operating-officer-coo-and-general-counsel-of-the-corporation-188230581.html  There may be proof of notability out there, but I haven't found it yet.

 * Weak delete. He might have been notable as a political activist, although I'm not sure about that. His business achievements don't indicate notability to me. His [current company] makes a sifter that separates dry cannabis leaf, but I haven't seen coverage of him. He's also involved with an AI project, https://canna-gpt.com/  Eastmain (talk • contribs) 08:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete multiple problems with this article including BLP concerns, but at the end of the day simply lacks notability. SportingFlyer  T · C  13:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete unless somebody with better access to archived American media from 20 years ago than I've got can find some genuinely substantive coverage to salvage it with. Notability isn't entirely impossible here, but the article certainly doesn't say anything about him that would be "inherently" notable in the absence of any significant reliable source analysis about his work in media, so it would need a lot more than just one 12-word blurb technically confirming his appointment to a position to get him over the WP:GNG bar.
