Fails WP:BIO. No references, since article was created in 2004. Some coverage but seems to be the foundations. scope_creep (talk) 22:08, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Was created as a redirect in 2004, made into an article in 2008. There appears to be either a COI or a SPA in 2008, last edited in Nov/2008, so I doubt the ping will be successful. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  22:37, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete it would seem like somebody could come up with an article for this guy that actually has some references. But since the article has been around since 2004/2008 nobody has. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 01:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt obvious COI, although that is not a particularly strong reason on its own for deletion. There are a few good sources out there in the Detroit Free Press. However the coverage is mostly just namechecks of him doing his job, getting quoted. When you add the low notability and the COI, it's time to delete.104.163.158.37 (talk) 22:38, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
