Declined speedy. I don't think this individual passes wp:GNG; the article is heavily referenced (something that to me smacks of desparation0; however most of these are actually about his alcohol business. There is nothing of any substance about the man. TheLongTone (talk) 13:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

I couldn't disagree more. He's been interviewed by a bunch of mainstream news outlets, including CNN and the Washington Post, among others. We're talking major feature stories about the business, some of which are included in the "References" section. If more need to be included, then fine, but I'm not sure why feature stories don't qualify as "passing the test." Feature stories don't come around often! Plus, he's a senior executive at a multimillion-dollar nonprofit organization, whereby he's frequently quoted by news outlets too. The page should stay -- what's the harm in keeping it? There are plenty of other less notable people who have Wikipedia pages. That's indisputable.
