This article does not meet any of the criteria for notability in biography. Samopolis (talk) 04:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems like a nice guy, but indeed not quite notable.   LotLE × talk  22:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Notwithstanding my !vote above, I would urge commenter to evaluate this against WP:GNG or other standards, and not as WP:PROF (despite the deletion sorting). I think PROF has been over-applied as a deletion claim against biographies where there notability claim is different from that.  LotLE × talk  22:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this professor. Joe Chill (talk) 23:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, one link to a message board doesn't cut it.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 09:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. With all due respect, developer of a message board and being "the youngest coach in National Forensic League history" (not even sourced) do not confer notability. The article is full of red-links related to most other things that might be perceived as claims of notability and there isn't a single source to confirm any of this. An uncontroversial delete. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:41, 5 February 2010 (UTC).
 * Delete. As far as I can tell (e.g. from this link) he's just a Stanford student, whose role with the debate team at Stanford is so minimal that one can't find his name anywhere on the team web site. Being a campaign worker is also not particularly notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
