 * Delete The entire article was written by one user, whose only other contribution was to add Sebright's name to another article (that could also use a good looking at). There is no indication of notability in the references. Of the two third-party articles, #5 reports about him within his capacity at the council, in a single incident. The #6 article is not about him but quotes him in one paragraph. Both of these are "business as usual" kinds of reports for someone in any kind of public/political work.

 * Keep Article has been improved upon and concerns have been addressed. minor contributor Sanjaya15 (talk) 17:32, 31 October 2014 (UTC)Sanjaya15
 * Comment - I am not sure how you can say the concern have been addressed, no additional references have been added. red dog six  (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment At this point I would say that the article has been expanded, however, I still don't see anything that would bring this person up to the level of notability. I merged the repeated references to make it easier to analyze them. Here is what I have:
 * * 1-3: not third party, probably should not be used.
 * * 6-8, 11-12, 14: normal announcements of non-notable events
 * * 13: not about him (by him)
 * * 4, 9-10: Third party, but not enough to establish notability LaMona (talk) 16:03, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

 Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article discusses Danny Sebright's relationship with Howard Dean. Here are a few quotes from the article: "Danny Sebright, a defense specialist who spent more than a decade as an intelligence and policy official at the Pentagon. ... Sebright, who worked in the Defense Intelligence Agency under both Republicans and Democrats, left the Pentagon during the early planning stages of the Iraq military campaign. ... As a special assistant for the war on terrorism, Sebright had a front-row seat as Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Doug Feith, undersecretary of defense for policy, made the case for attacking Saddam Hussein 'up close and personal, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,' giving him an unusual perspective now as he advises Dean on the same subject." The rest of the article discusses Danny Sebright's role further.  The article's beginning: "Among the many players in the monumental effort to nudge Arabs and Israelis toward a lasting piece is an Adams County dairy farmer's son named Danny Sebright. He has watched from the front row as bitter historic enemies negotiated during tense summits of recent years, most recently January's abortive Israeli-Syrian negotiations in Shepherdstown, W.Va. He has also been on the hot end of Middle East gamesmanship. During the Gulf War, he donned a gas mask and took shelter from Iraqi Scud missiles falling on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, where he was based at the American Embassy." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Danny Sebright to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
