Michael Rigas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Commissioned spam of a bureaucrat. As such, it fails WP:N by not meeting WP:NOTSPAM. He get's the standard appointment announcement spam that is routine coverage of a government announcement, not counting towards the GNG, but otherwise all we have is quotes. This guy is has no business being in Wikipedia, and the fact that it's spam makes it worse. Delete. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:26, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. "Deputy director of the Office of Personnel Management" is certainly the kind of claim that could get a person into Wikipedia if he could be sourced over WP:GNG as the subject of media coverage for it, but it is not an "inherently" WP:NPOL-passing role that allows him to keep a badly sourced article just because he exists. The sourcing here is parked on a government press release and an internal civil service newsletter, not on reliable source coverage that's independent of his employer, so it doesn't help to establish his notability.

 * Delete. Lacks substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources. No prejudice against having this article, now or in future, if such coverage can be found. Note: This is a different person than the Michael Rigas convicted of financial crime at Adelphia. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:54, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find substantial coverage, even though Adephia's Rigas family muddies the waters. Fiachra10003 (talk) 14:44, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
