This article is about a probation officer who may well be performing a valuable service for society yet does not seem to have attained encyclopedic notability. Although this article contains six external links, none of them appear to have to do with this person. Three of those links go to the home pages of organizations he is affiliated with but with no reference to him personally. Another link supposedly describes a study in which he participated, but the article at that link does not mention this person. And the remaining two links refer to a police officer in Overland Park, Kansas being honored for catching a criminal by noticing a forged license plate. However, that incident took place in the year 2000, when the subject of this article was apparently still in community college or university in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, over 400 miles away from Overland Park. Thus, the officer honored in Overland Park is most likely a different person. The article asserts that the subject's main claim to fame is his participation in a study in 2006, yet no sources have been provided that describe that study or connect him with it, nor have I found any on my own. I previously submitted this article for proposed deletion, but the WP:PROD tag was removed by the article creator. I recommend a delete. --Metropolitan90 03:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, although it asserts notability, these are relatively common honors. Kudos to officer Satter, but achievement is not notability. -- Dhartung | Talk 03:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm sure that he's done great work as a probation officer, but as Dhartung mentioned, those awards are quite minor and certaintly not notable enough to merit giving him an article.-- TBC Φ  talk?  03:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being one of nine participants in an obscure university study isn't enough for notability --⁪frotht 04:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete From the link given, even the study itself sounds rather routine. Nothing establishing this person was a part of it, but even if he was, that doesn't suffice for notability.  Mwelch 07:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. If he was named LEO of the year for his state, that might serve, but gosh, officers arrest people; that's not remotely notable.  RGTraynor 15:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Not notable.--Getaway 17:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
