Non notable government official. The position, "Chief Technology Officer of the State of California" is not intrinsically notable. The references for notability consist basically of minor notices--and his own minor publications  DGG ( talk ) 19:29, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject lacks significant notability. Chief Data Officer of the State of California in and of itself is not notable enough. Meatsgains (talk) 23:26, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Subject is sufficiently notable. Even without the citations that are his, the subject or his work has been prominently featured in publications that are not minor (Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, American Banker). Chief Data Officer is intrinsically notable given the size of California and the scope of the role but even if that were not true the subject should be "presumed notable" as he has "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of" him.

 * Delete per nom. Even considering the size of California, CDO is not a notable office. Bearian (talk) 17:08, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
