WP:BLP of a political staffer with no particularly strong claim to notability. Of the eight sources here, three are covering him in the context of quitting Gavin Newsom's staff after Newsom had an affair with his ex-wife ten years ago, one is covering him in the context of quitting another job, three just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of failing to be about him, and only one is actually substantively about him doing something other than quitting a job. And for that matter, seven of the eight are local sources — and the only non-local one is one of those glancing namechecks. That's not the kind of sourcing it takes to get over WP:NPOL #3; it takes a lot more substance and a lot more non-localized coverage than that — and if you're going to park the notability on the Newsom affair itself, then the problem is that since nothing else here gets him an article, the Newsom affair just makes him a WP:BLP1E.

Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Does not qualify to even be considered under WP:NPOL, since he is not a pol, but a staffer. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
