This page is the glorified cv of a lower tier policy wonk; vanity is apparent throughout the entry Cristo00 (talk) 06:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please remain civil when discussing subjects of articles. I don't have time to really look into this now, but a quick google search turns up results in google, google news, google books and google scholar. -- Beloved Freak  11:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - definitely verifiable and there is enough coverage from secondary sources to meet notability guidelines. -- Beloved Freak  11:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. The previous AFD was in 2005 but I don't see anything that's changed to remove his notability. Non-trivial sources, evidence of national prominence. Good enough for me. Any issues regarding it reading like a vanity article is more a style issue. 23skidoo (talk) 01:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's well known internationally as proponent of roads. A very quick news search will pull up hundreds of articles. Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - article already contains sources to establish notability, and a cursory search easily finds more. -- Whpq (talk) 15:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
