Non-notable person, written by a user with an obvious COI. All the sources are either primary sources from people he's worked for, or links to his publications. Fails WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:22, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Clearly non-notable. At least not from what is written on the the article, nor from what can be gathered from a web search. The subject has not been widely covered as a main topic by third-party reliable sources, he has not received nor being nominated several times to receive well-known awards, and it seems he has not made long-lasting profound contributions to his field. His work, by itself, doesn't look notable either. Bottom line, I don't see any reason why the subject should be included in the encyclopedia. --Legion fi (talk) 18:10, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seems pretty much non-notable. His biggest claim to fame was that he was once an adviser to the Clinton administration. The 'Selected Works' section in the article has one item, the only thing that he is perhaps vaguely noted for, and he's the second author of that. Was an academic, now runs a consultancy. Seems unlikely to produce anything groundbreaking now.Poltair (talk) 18:38, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
