Weak keep. There isn't a whole lot of in-depth news coverage of him yet, but I'm inclined to agree with the commenters at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyler Tingley that Exeter is a sufficiently important institution for its principal to be notable, especially also given the connections through his wife. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- PS there do seem to be quite a few highly unreliable sources either decrying Hassan for having a Muslim-sounding name and for inviting Muslim civil rights organizations to speak on-campus, or calling out the first group as bigoted. Probably best that this hasn't shown up in the article. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:57, 7 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Merge and redirect content to Maggie_Hassan#Personal_life. I just don't see enough coverage on him at the moment to justify a standalone article, but at the same time, we have a viable place to put what little there is, until such time that reliable sources have taken notice of him in his own right.

Weak keep. Because of Phillips Exeter Academy’s prestige, one could make a case for a “keep” based on WP:PROF criterion #6 (highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society). I believe that this criterion is mostly aimed at higher ed institutions, but does not completely exclude notable pre-higher ed schools.--Eric Yurken (talk) 17:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw as there exists enough sources now. FrankDev (talk) 04:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
