Stub cites a photo caption and a press release. Searches of the usual Google types, EBSCO, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, and ProQuest found plenty of PR and brief quotes, but nothing substantive in arms length, reliable, secondary sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Worldbruce (talk) 15:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Agree that a tag for improvement is in order. However, believe he passes WP:ANYBIO. Featured in national business publications such as Forbes, passing the 3rd clause (The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication.)

 * Did you actually click through on that purported Forbes link? It looked like a computer-generated filler page to me, not a feature article... Carrite (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:ANYBIO. Additionally, the authors ongoing pattern of creating articles about non notable alumni of the Hill School makes WP:PROMO a factor here. John from Idegon (talk) 16:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep User:John from Idegon, could you identify why this article does not pass WP:ANYBIO instead of just stating it. WP:PROMO does not apply, I am not publicising anything on this person, I am not affiliated in any way. Please could you keep your comments on the content, as outlined in  WP:PERSONAL. Wikipedia isn't a tabloid newspaper, what school a person went to does not make a person more or less notable or should factor into whether a article should exist.Hyungjoo98 (talk) 03:24, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  A  Train talk 10:02, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - NOTINHERITED merits mention, as this is a grand-nephew of Dag Hammerskjold. Google footprint is small and I am not seeing anything that would count towards GNG. Carrite (talk) 12:42, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
