Recreation of a previously deleted article. This is written differently enough from the first version to not qualify for immediate speedy deletion, but it is not actually bolstering his notability claim with appreciably better reliable sourcing than it had the first time. This is still referenced far too heavily to primary sources that are not support for notability -- the alumni organizations of his own alma maters, content on the self-published websites of organizations or companies that he's directly affiliated with, Q&A interviews where he's talking about himself in the first person, etc. -- and the very, very few footnotes that actually come from real WP:GNG-worthy media outlets are just glancing namechecks of his existence, not coverage that's substantively about him for the purposes of establishing notability. As always, Wikipedia is not a place where people are automatically notable just because they have jobs -- notability is not a question of what the article says so much as it's a question of the quality of the referencing you can or can't locate to support the things the article says, and the referencing here isn't good enough. (For added bonus, the creator was explicitly told the first time what kind of sourcing is acceptable and what kind of sourcing isn't, but still came back with this anyway.)

 * Delete. I concur, passing mentions, no evidence of SIGCOV. He exists, has a career, but does not appear to meet WP:NBIO. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:17, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
