Promotional type article, I don't believe that the post that he held at DOE was notable enough to make him notable - he was just a civil servant doing a job. Some news coverage but not sure if this is in depth enough to meet GNG Gbawden (talk) 12:03, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - his most recent job at DOE appears to be notable, but the others were stepping stones. This article needs a lot of work if it's to be kept: it's borderline too messy to fix but I'll take a crack at trimming the cruft out. Bearian (talk) 01:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I cleaned up what I could.  I'm not sure the infobox belongs on the bottom. Bearian (talk) 01:39, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Maybe return to draftspace as my News, Books and browser searches found links including ones saying he was "the department's top cybersecurity official" but there's simply no move target and no better improvement.

 * Delete - These are some of the most difficult articles to evaluate. Simply because of the position and the 24 hour news cycle's need for filler, folks like this get mentioned. But all the material in the article, as well as what I can find in the search engines is simply routine. In my opinion, it doesn't rise to the level of "comprehensive coverage" necessary to meet WP:GNG. (and right back at you, SwisterTwister ).  Onel 5969  TT me 12:36, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Userfy: Lots of mentions (as said above, news organizations tend to be indiscriminate; they are for-profit and more information = more ad revenue), but no significant coverage. The subject's role could cause news and other sources to seriously cover the subject, so userfication (trusted editor) seems like the better option. Esquivalience t 00:29, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I would not object to userfication to draft space. Bearian (talk) 20:24, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
