I believe the page merits retention due to several key factors demonstrating Ruiz's significance and notability.

Comparable Wikipedia Entries: Many individuals who have held comparable or similar positions as Chief of Staff, including Allie Bones and Jack LaSota, maintain active Wikipedia pages.

Both of these individuals have pages with far less detail regarding their accomplishments or their impact on public policy. This sets a clear precedent for retaining the page for Ruiz, who has had an equally, if not more, significant role in Arizona's political landscape.

Historical and Cultural Significance: Daniel Ruiz II holds the distinction of being the first Latino to serve as Chief of Staff to an Arizona Governor. This alone represents a noteworthy milestone in Arizona’s political history, reflecting the increasing diversity in state leadership roles and making Ruiz a pioneering figure in the Latino community. His tenure in this high-profile position is emblematic of broader societal changes and deserves recognition for its historic value.

Impact and Influence: As noted on the page and in news sources, during his tenure, Ruiz oversaw critical initiatives under Governor Doug Ducey’s administration, playing a central role in shaping policy decisions and managing key aspects of state governance. His influence extended beyond the day-to-day operations of the Governor's office, as Chief of Staff is a role vital to executing state policy and managing crisis responses. His leadership, particularly in a state as politically dynamic as Arizona, underscores the importance of documenting his contributions.

Broader Media Recognition: As noted in the specific citations from reliable sources provided, Daniel Ruiz II has been the subject of media coverage related to his role in shaping Arizona's policies. His involvement in major state initiatives, including economic development and crisis management, has brought him into the public eye.

Daniel Ruiz II is a notable figure both historically and politically. His role as the first Latino Chief of Staff in Arizona and his comparability with other individuals in similar roles who have retained Wikipedia pages underscore his notability. I respectfully request that his page be maintained and preserved as an important documentation of Arizona’s political history. ArizonaArt (talk) 17:59, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: First hispanic chief of staff is barely notable, the Blue Cross position isn't notable. I don't see what's changed in the three months since last AfD. Sourcing used is simply confirmation of various positions, no different than any other person. Oaktree b (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Nothing has substantially changed since the AfD from five months ago. The other CEOs cited by the AI Keep vote means Wikipedia:Other things exist. Additionally, one of the figures cited was also the Arizona Attorney General, a statewide office meeting WP:NPOL, so that is not a good example. The article also masks a lack of notability through a number of tactics. His job history has a number of vague phrasings such as "accepted a position," "took a leadership position," and "helped plan," which can cover a whole bunch of meaningful or meaningless tasks. It makes the article wordier by giving extraneous background on people such as his grandfather and his predecessors. Finally, as I post with every AfD an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing.--Mpen320 (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
