The subject of the article is non-notable outside of a single event, which is otherwise well documented at 2020_United_States_census and Thomas_Hofeller. The end result is a coatrack article with undue balance of a single issue, without any other biographic information. So this is both not notable and potentially a BLP issue.

 * I found brief coverage of Jones in reliable sources in the context of the single event, e.g.


 * Rights activists say emails boost their case on 2020 census discrimination (AP/LAT, June 15, 2019)
 * Judge to reconsider whether discrimination behind Trump census citizenship question (The Hill, June 19, 2019)
 * A Father, a Daughter, and the Attempt to Change the Census (New Yorker, July 12, 2019)
 * A Census Whodunit: Why Was the Citizenship Question Added? (NYT, updated Dec 2, 2019)
 * How Trump Officials Cut The 2020 Census Short Amid The Pandemic (NPR, Sept, 18 2020)


 * So per the nom's reasoning, including undue weight on the event, as well as WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E, delete seems appropriate for this article at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 21:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. Often high-level census bureau employees have well-cited publications or recognition as a fellow of a major statistical society allowing them to pass WP:PROF, but my searches didn't find anything like that in this case. And anyway the article is currently a WP:COATRACK for a single event rather than a balanced biography, so WP:BIO1E and WP:TNT also apply. As nominated, it also overplayed her position at the bureau: apparently she was actually "chief of staff to the bureau's deputy director", that is, the manager for some lower-level manager's personal staff, not someone in charge of all staff in the bureau. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:05, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
