Submission declined on 25 May 2024 by Velella (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: very few independednt sources here - almost all are in house from various employers. Of the few independednt sources, he is a bare mention in the Washington Post article and the Fedscoop article is clearly an interview thus not independent. He sounds as though he should be notable, but the sources don't yet stack up. Velella Velella Talk 10:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
