Non-notable under WP:BIO. Likely to be a case of WP:COI as the top 3 contributors have only edited this article or other articles strictly related to the person. Piccolo Modificatore Laborioso (talk) 22:19, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep and close. A simple news search clearly indicates the person's notability. There are also sufficient references in the article itself to prove the notability. Concerns about COI and/or POV are not to be taken to AfD. LeaveSleaves talk 17:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The Washington Post and the US President thought this person was notable. If they think so you'll have to come with some extraordinary to the contrary. COI is not a valid reason for deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 18:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Flies way over the notability bar. There seems to be an idea amongst some editors that deletion is the solution to every problem. It is not. Where a subject is notable, and there is at least some information in an article worth salvaging, the answer to COI editing is for other editors to review the article for any content that doesn't present a neutral point of view, and edit accordingly, not to delete the whole article.
