Clearly fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG. Not finding any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either those in the article or elsewhere online - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Edwardx (talk) 09:05, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:GNG and WP:BASIC subject is covered in many reliable sources including TaxHistory, NYTimes, Reuters, Bloomberg, AccountingToday, TEDx talk,BizJournals and many others. Riteboke (talk) 10:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify and decline. No in-depth coverage of the person at all. Doesn't satisfy WP:NPEOPLE, WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Below is my assessment of the current sources in the article.

Source analysis

"Employee or Contractor? Health Care Law Raises Stakes". The New York Times. 2015-02-14. ISSN 0362-4331.
Behind the NYT paywall. Considering my source assessments below, I'm not inclined to bother digging this one out. No matter what this article contains, it's only one source.
"48th Annual Conference of the USA Branch of the International Fiscal Association". IFA USA. 2021-09-09.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. Schedule of sessions at a conference, which lists the subject as a participant
"The United Nations Centennial Roundtable | The United Nations Centennial Initiative".
Not a reliable source: No coverage at all. Schedule of a roundtable discussion, which lists the subject as a panelist. There is a bio--most likely submitted by the subject.
"INSIGHT: Why Tax Collection Remains a Challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa". news.bloombergtax.com.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. One-sentence quote of something the subject said.
"Jeffrey Saviano - EY Global Tax Innovation Leader". www.ey.com.
Not independent: This is the subject's profile page at their employer.
"Tax Analysts -- Transparency in State Taxation, Part 2 -- Legislative Process and Letter Rulings". www.taxhistory.org.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. The subject is quoted a few times, talking about a taxation issue.
Studies, New York University School of Continuing and Professional (2012-06-12). New York University Institute on State and Local Taxation (2012). LexisNexis. ISBN 978-0-327-18209-2.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. The subject's name is listed in the front matter as a member of an NYU advisory board. This appears to be the only mention of the subject in the book.
"Technology and Tax During and Beyond the Coronavirus Pandemic". World Bank.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. Video of a live-stream panel discussion. The subject talks about financial data technology.
"How EY Launched an Innovation Program". Innovation Leader.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. Video of a podcast, wherein the subject talks about launching innovation programs.
"Season 3, Ep.11: The Davos Talks, 2020- Jeff Saviano: How can we fight climate change with better taxation? | TEDxBeaconStreet from Better Innovation | Podcast Episode on Podbay". Podbay.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. Audio of a webcast, which includes audio of the subject speaking about taxation on fossil fuels.
"DIGI Co-hosts Inaugural Prosperity Collaborative Online Event". New America.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. This appears to be a synopsis of a past online panel discussion. The subject is listed as a participant.
"EY to hold FinTech Pitch Day for tech startups". Accounting Today. 2018-05-25.
Not significant coverage: No coverage at all. The subject's employer held an event for tech startups to make pitches to them. The subject probably participated, and is quoted in a couple sentences about the event.
"EY announces the opening of global EY Advanced Technology Tax Lab". ey-announces-the-opening-of-global-ey-advanced-technology-tax-lab.html.
Not independent: (broken link) A press release from the subject's employer, announcing the opening of a lab. The subject is quoted, saying something about it. The actual link is here.
"Using Multiple Void Patterns at Crime Scenes to Estimate Area of Origin in Bloodstain Cases – ACSR". www.acsr.org.
This isn't even related to the subject. This is an article co-authored by a different "Jeff Saviano" here.

Delete. While there are glancing mentions of him in several articles on tax policy and similar, I don't think it adds up to WP:SIGCOV. No sign of WP:NPROF or WP:NAUTHOR. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:25, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Almost nothing in GS, so not much impact. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Delete per the source analysis above. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NACADEMIC, and WP:ANYBIO. I will add by saying that I have a subscription access to The New York Times, and the subject is only briefly quoted in the article. The article is not about him, and we don't count mere quotes as indications of notability or as significant coverage.4meter4 (talk) 19:23, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
