 * Keep. The article certainly needs some editing but the man has a long list of accomplishments including his appointment to the United States Air Force Academy Board of Visitors by President Bush and his election as Board Chairman as well as being the author of a business book that was #6 on the NYTimes best sellers list (these are in addition to his business success and all his business awards such as Hispanic magazine's "Entrepreneur of the Year").  Notability isn't about the quality of the writing, it's about the person.  This one meets the test for me. -- DS1953 talk  05:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep although it's hard to sort out the real accomplishments from the puffed-up ones in a PR piece like we have before us. (The guy who wrote the story that became the movie Stand and Deliver wrote his book's foreword? Gobsmacked, I am.) The notability of the company has some bearing on him but the accolades cited were mainly for the company itself. Minor political appointments with a probable eye to campaign donations and ethnic representation are not real notability, either. I'm more interested in the TV appearances and the Hispanic business accolades than anything else the article is throwing at the wall. Desperately needs cleanup if kept. --Dhartung | Talk 08:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, He is Very notable. and with references.Callelinea 03:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Chairman of the board of visitors is the equivalent of chairman of the board of trustees, and this i think would be recognized as very major institution with international visibility. I am not sure every member of the board would be notable, but the chairman certainly is . DGG (talk) 05:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
