Some sources that may indicate some notability. http://books.google.com/books?id=IXIHi77EBZoC&pg=PA372&dq=Jack+Ryan+(FBI+agent&hl=en&ei=gNbdS825BIv4-AafsOGhBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Jack%20Ryan%20(FBI%20agent&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=NOcDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA16&dq=Jack+Ryan+(FBI+agent&hl=en&ei=gNbdS825BIv4-AafsOGhBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CEIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Jack%20Ryan%20(FBI%20agent&f=false So the articel may need work, but I'm not sure this is exaclty unnotable.Slatersteven (talk) 19:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Suuuuuuuuuuper non-notable. JBsupreme (talk) ✄ ✄ ✄ 20:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep the book and the magazine make two examples of non-trivial coverage in secondary sources, which is what's important here (regardless of how suuuuuuper it is or not, thank you so much for your highly cogent argument JBsupreme). I would agree this individual is probably not VERY notable, but according to wikipedia's guidelines, he barely passes WP:N -Markeer

Keep. The book seems to be an interview (which isn't exactly independent, but is in-depth). But in addition to the detailed Mother Jones article, see also:
