Promotional article that fails WP:ANYBIO. While Mr. Willis has indeed appeared on television on behalf of his employer, he fails the required criteria: 1) "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times," and 2) "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field."

 * Keep Appears to meet WP:BASIC given coverage in sources such as NPR, The Guardian, and the sources cited in the article already. Everymorning   talk  15:13, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Being spokesperson does usually mean getting your picture in the paper. In this case, there are a few articles about him as spokesperson, but I'm not convinced that they provide the depth that would make this encyclopedic. What we know is that he was born in NOLA, and that he is the spokesperson for BP relating to the oil spill. As far as I can tell, that's all he's done. The articles listed here are basically "human interest" stories and give very little information about him. LaMona (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Bystander - I originally created the article. I am no longer sure the subject merits coverage here. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 02:49, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
