Minor political figure. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. No secondary sources whatsoever on article, and although WP:BEFORE turned tons of Gnews hits, they're all simply namechecks and quotes from the subject, exactly what you'd expect to find for a staffer.

 * Delete. Several of these are roles that could get him an article if he could be shown as the subject of enough reliable source media coverage for them to clear WP:GNG, but none of them are "inherently" notable roles that automatically guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because his existence can technically be verified in a primary source list of university scholarship recipients. Notability for Wikipedia purposes is not a question of what an article says, but of how well it does or doesn't reference what it says. Bearcat (talk) 03:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
