This was PRODd by User:Jmertel23 with the following rationale: "Appears to fail WP:GNG - all references provided are either not reliable or only mention the subject in passing. I can't find any independent sources that discuss him in-depth." This was disputed by the page creator, but from looking at the sources I am able to access and from my own searches I concur with the PROD nomination. Unless the WashPo sources I am unable to read discuss his work at length, then WP:BIO is not met. SmartSE (talk) 21:53, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: The WaPo citations appear to be primarily blogs and one opinion article that was co-written by the subject. The other sources are either directories or contain passing references. There's no significant, independent coverage of the subject. May His Shadow Fall Upon You     Talk  14:28, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete a lack of indepth quality coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reasons that I had for my original PROD and as described above. All the coverage of him is in passing - I couldn'd find any in-depth coverage about the subject himself. Jmertel23 (talk) 11:58, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. A non-notable guy with a well-paying job. Nothing to see here. TJRC (talk) 03:24, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - if The Hill list of the top lobbyists had more biographical information, that might be enough, but right now it's not. Lobbying and lobbyists are sort of run of the mill today. Bearian (talk) 16:32, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
