Former president of a local community college. Notability is not encyclopedic, although locally notable. While this article has many references, the ones that pass WP:RS are local papers. The balance are passing mentions or should not be used at all (intelius, findagrave, classmates.com)  Scr ★ pIron IV 13:17, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep a standard college president article. If there was one newspaper article on him, I would dismiss it, but there are lots of in-depth interviews as well as an obituary. The sources listed as not showing notability are the ones as references for facts, not for notability. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 10:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I do not think presidents of two-year community colleges should qualify for WP:PROF. And the coverage we have of him appears to be only in local media. But there's enough of it that I think he squeaks by. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:19, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies WP: GNG with more than seventy sources independent of the subject. Billy Hathorn (talk) 21:06, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
