I am not convinced this person meets the WP:GNG. Sources are either primary or about another topic entirely. The standard set of search links for an AfD results in little usable information. As for the Bay of Pigs claim, that on it's face looks completely bogus. Why would the CIA approach a 20-year old kid for such a sensitive operation? DarkAudit (talk) 02:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, notability not established. Appears purely promotional. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is a close call. The History News Network piece cited in the footnotes looks "good" as an independently published source dealing at length with the subject of this article, even if to debunk certain claims. The intent of this piece does seem promotional, but that is an editing matter. Even if the Bay of Pigs claim is hooey, this is still arguably an encyclopedia-worthy subject as the founder of International Counterintelligence Services (ICS).
