Subject appears non-notable. I found several news blurbs announcing his appointment to leading the ICA, but all appear to be derivative of a press release appearing here:. The ICA is a non-notable trade organization for promoting the business of colored gemstones. His other shot at notability would be his awards. The Liddicoat Journalism Award also appears non-notable, and I can find no coverage of the 2004 awards. The sole source mentioning his award is on a bio page from an organization he works for. Other media mentions generally stem from outlets quoting a sentence or two about gem-related news posted to his blog. I can find no evidence that he is important enough to his field to warrant an article, and it seems that his most notable contributions have been as a trade promoter.

 * Delete - I did my due diligence and found a few articles that talk to him as a subject matter expert, but, everything else is a mere mention. Nothing significant. Missvain (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
