Demarest's only claim to notability seems to be that he works for the FBI. The only news mentions I could find (other than the one the article references) are quotes from him on cases that the FBI has handled. Doesn't meet WP:BIO.  Graymornings (talk) 03:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC) 
 * Keep. Well, no he doesn't just "work for the FBI" anymore than, say, Barack Obama just works for the federal government. Slight exaggeration, but ADIC of the New York Division is a notable position. He easily passes WP:BIO on the grounds of being the subject of "published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." I think this NPR story from early December ought to suffice. --Crunch (talk) 04:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I don't know if his position carries inherent notability or not, but the coverage on him looks pretty significant, both in the New York and national media. Un  sch  ool  01:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
