WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a vice-president of a student organization, and resting almost entirely on sources which just glancingly namecheck his existence — only source #1 passes the "substantively about him" test. He would have to satisfy WP:GNG to make it over our inclusion rules, because the role itself does not entitle him to a notability freebie, but the sourcing that's been offered here fails to demonstrate that GNG is met.

 * Delete as per the explanation given by the proposer. Subject of the article is mentioned by name in some good sources, but the coverage relates to him speaking in his NUS role, rather than providing support for him passing WP:GNG himself. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete the nominator sums it up nicely. Article is pure promotion. Web searches turn up social media and university blogs/sites, news searches turn up more brief statements by the subject. Kraxler (talk) 17:41, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
