- Delete. I found this through the academic deletion sorting list but he appears neither to be an academic nor to pass our academic notability criteria. In particular, although one of those criteria is about fellows of major societies for which fellowship is a significant honor, neither of the things called "fellow" in the article meet that criterion; one just means he works at a think tank, and the other (Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society) is "open to anyone with an interest in statistics and data science at any stage of their career" rather than reserved as an honor for the society's most distinguished members. So that leaves only WP:GNG-based notability, but we only have passing mentions of him in our sources, rather than the in-depth coverage needed for GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
