Quite obvious vanity article, edit history even shows the majority of the article is based on a personal interview, which is also original research. Transfo47 (talk) 00:16, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Delete fails WP:BASIC no WP:SIGCOV in independent reliable sources. Current sources are mostly primary from org website (not IS) and ditto for the leavecom ref. The slideshare ref also does nothing to establish notability. Running the gamut of afd searches doesn't yield any other SIGCOV either. Looks like the reviewer didn't examine this too closely and then it stuck around for several years as no one who knew what to do ran across it. Regards, 31.41.45.190 (talk) 04:49, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

• Delete The article's history implies that there is a lot of OR in the article (most of which is unsourced) - the author says they conducted an interview with the subject in one of their edit summaries. I'm not seeing the sources to indicate a GNG pass. I think this has just flown under the radar until now - it doesn't pass muster. Girth Summit _(blether) 18:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
