This article does not show how the subject is notable beyond managing an educational institution. I could not find him in any major publications, such as the New York Times, that typically qualify someone such as him as being notable. This article is like the many others that are created and then deleted about a young executive that may have paid or had influence in the articles creation. I do not think it is appropriate to allow for such people to derive their own notability in public life through the existence of their own Wikipedia page which is sourced from a handful of small publications Thriley (talk) 19:08, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete running a network of schools is not a sign of notability. If having 5,000 students was enough for notability, we would have to create articles on hundred superintendents, and probably also on my uncle who was Assistant Superintendent of Clark County (Las Vegas) Public Schools, a postions which was the top academic post, sort of like a vice chancelor in the British university system. My uncle has a middle school named after him, but I will be the first to argue that Theoron Lane Swainston does not meet notability criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:03, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Despite what the nominator states, an NYT search turns up coverage of the subject, and much more coverage of Democracy Prep; a GNews search turns up significant coverage of his activities. A problem here is that the search function is malformed and turns up virtually no results; a corrected search turns up, many, many results (and the name combination is so common that a great deal of screening is required.

 * Keep The article is a hybrid covering both Seth Andrew and Democracy Prep. There seems to be significant coverage of these in books such as Trendsetting Charter Schools and Making Young Voters.  Needs work not deletion per WP:IMPERFECT. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
