Fails notability, lack of RS. Could redirect to Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD), which is notable, but don't see evidence of Lackey's notability independent of that. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 19:39, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. He has an important role, several in fact, but no coverage to show that he himself is notable. I did find some book coverage and a few announcements, but nothing near to what GNG would require, in my opinion. JamieWhat (talk) 20:51, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being chair of the board of an organization is not an automatic notability freebie, but the references here are not reliable source coverage in media for the purposes of getting him over WP:GNG — it's referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, which is not how you get a person over the inclusion bar.

 * Delete per WP:NPOL and WP:NOTINHERITED. Being a president/chair of an advisory board does not make a person automatically notable. Bearian (talk) 18:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No coverage at all about him. The article makes several claims which are unsubstantiated. The "World Food Bank" is a non-notable private investment fund. Nothing to do with the World Food Programme! So even if the fund were notable, he isn't. And they both aren't. Clearly trying to fool Wikipedia, and for that I have no sympathy.

 * Delete we do not have enough for a biography. Sounds like the subject is doing notable work, however WP:V. Wm335td (talk) 21:54, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
