Fails WP:NBIO. An online search of this person produces press releases and obituaries of an unrelated person. And no significant coverage in either of the paywalled WSJ sources which can be accessed using Internet Archive (). Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 12:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Because we have mutual connections in common, I'm not going to !vote. I will point out that an adjunct professor almost never passes WP:PROF, but he could still pass based on WP:SIGCOV, which I'll leave up to you folks. Bearian (talk) 18:05, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - I checked the two books mentioned in the lead and neither has received any widespread recognition or citations. Ofc this could change later on but I don't see evidence of notability as of now. Caleb Stanford (talk) 05:03, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I found lots of quotes from the subject, mostly in trade magazines, and this 2003 profile. Could be persuaded by one or two more decent sources, but I don't see enough for WP:GNG. MCE89 (talk) 11:48, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
