Nothing to actually suggest his own notability apart from the company itself and even then there's nothing to suggest he has inherited notability from that company; my own searches have simply found exactly what this article contains, PR....nothing convincing.

 * Keep the awards, hall of fame nomination and power list ranking show signs of importance in the field. There's a few questionable sources here and some fluff, but seeing enough sans those to meet WP:GNG. News Team   Assemble! [talk?] 11:37, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Ketchum Inc. I am not convinced that the person is independently notable of the company. This is probably the best source I found, but it still doesn't justify an entire article. Most other sources are press releases. At this point, I see this as a BLP1E which would be covered in the context of the company. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge of relevant content to Ketchum Inc., which presently only has a passing mention. This will improve the merge target article. North America1000 07:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
