Fails BLP as there is no assertion of notability nor sources to back up inherent claims.  D u s t i *poke* 23:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. For God's sake. Philips Exeter (as well as Philips Andover) is among the most prestigious secondary schools in the world; the guy who runs it is more influential/notable/etc than half the college presidents out there. GNews, GScholar, and GBooks all show nontrivial hits, and there'll be lots more out there in the sort of research journals that don't show up online, and under other forms of his name (common problems in googling academics). And if real-world notability is't enough, he's also been tuckerized into a character in the Da Vinci Code guy's novel(s). WP:BEFORE. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't see why a speedy keep would be appropriate; I see no indication that "the nomination unquestionably is an attempt to vandalize or to otherwise create disruption". I can't immediately see that significant coverage in GNews or GBooks, so, if you can HW, please show us.  Chzz  ► 18:24, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Wolf. President of the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools nails it. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:24, 30 January 2011 (UTC).
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - A prestigious school that, as Wolf says, is arguably as important as many colleges. The references support that. Shadowjams (talk) 10:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Further to my earlier comment; going on the actual references we have; Ref 1 is the org itself, not showing notability. Refs 2 and 3 both point to a single online news article, which has the briefest mention of this person; certainly, the story is not substantially about this individual. Ref 4 is also a primary source, not establishing notability. Therefore, I do not see "significant coverage in independent reliable sources" (WP:GNG) or anything approaching it. This person does not appear to meet the requirements of WP:BIO or WP:ACADEMIC. In addition, the policy WP:BLP applies, and we must exercise appropriate caution.  Chzz  ► 12:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some more sources. I think that being head of four notable schools, including one as significant as Philips Exeter, is noteworthy, and that the third-party coverage we have of him is adequate to support an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:06, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
