Non-notable high school educator. Although Hodge was the topic of a very nice New York Daily News profile on the occasion of his retirement, that appears to be the only coverage available for him. The school he headed is notable, but he as an individual does not appear to be. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:08, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless other evidence comes to light. I'd note that this page has been speedy-deleted before as mentioned on the article creator's usertalk page and the new page appears to have been posted just after the speedy deletion of the old one (and I think only a minute later).

Keep per WP:HEY. The news coverage now in the article is enough for WP:GNG. (I found this through the academics and educators deletion sorting list but WP:PROF is not really aimed at educators at the secondary school level so GNG is the more appropriate notability criterion.) —David Eppstein (talk) 21:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've not yet been able to find any information on his earlier teaching, but I found and added several extended discussions of his work in newspapers, and some book sources. He is one of the principals given a chapter-length profile in a Heritage Foundation book, so I added that as Further reading. I think the article now demonstrates that he meets WP:GNG.
