Stephan H. Miller

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Mr. Miller, age 24, is an advisor to and spokesman for the mayor of Jerusalem. As such, he gets quoted a lot in news articles when someone wants an official response from the mayor. But none of the cited sources indicate that Mr. Miller is himself notable per WP:BIO. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep He seems to have gotten enough coverage besides his role as a spokesperson. The quotes should be taken off right away.Wolfview (talk) 23:38, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It would help your case if you could identify which of the sources cited in the article, or others that you have found, have significant coverage and are independent and reliable, as required for notability. At the moment it looks like the article is simply bombarding us with references without actually demonstrating notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Press secretaries are significant players.  It is useful to know something about them and their politics, background. This article is well-sourced. There is a full profile in the The GW Hatchet. And another in a paper that you have to pay to access. Then you have major newspapers identifying him as "a foreign affairs aide and spokesman for Mr. Barkat," New York Times, "spokesman for Jerusalem city" The Economist and so forth.   Frankly, I wish we had articles like this on every press secretary to a major political figure or institution.AMuseo (talk) 20:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * A student newspaper article about an advisor to a student association election campaign in a single university can hardly be said to be the kind of substantial coverage required for notability. And neither can passing mentions that say nothing about the subject apart from his job, however illustrious the publications that they appear in. Some press secretaries are notable and others not. We judge that by the same standards that we use for any other article subject. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:22, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Article started by WP User Shmiller2. In the lead he refers to himself as a "rising" political consultant. That's enough for me to bang the gong right there under WP:SELFPROMOTINGPRICK... Carrite (talk) 03:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
