Based on my analysis of the available sources (not just the ones in the article), I don't think the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO.

Sources currently in the article:

Wapo: Quote from subject at very end of page 3, article not otherwise about subject
Planet Money: Podcast, we don't generally accept podcast features as evidence of notability
Entrepreneurship: Presentaion from subject to the House, therefore not independent
NextBillion: blog report about above-noted presentation. In-depth, but blogs aren't generally taken as reliable.
CS Monitor: two scant paragraphs concerning subject, one of which consists of quotes from him and the other is a 3-sentence explanation of who he is
WSJ: visible through paywallhere, this is one of two decent sources as it has a reasonably substantial amount of content about Pierre
MMD Newswire: it's a press release, so no
AlertNet: also a substantial source about the subject
inec.usip: archived here, it's a blog, so no

Aside from that, I found a bunch of trivial quotations ("Mathias Pierre said...") and trivial mentions that he chose not to run for president. There's also this, which is basically political gossip reporting and not a substantial source IMO, and this, another two sentence+quote combo. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Two in-depth references from reliable sources ought to be enough to demonstrate notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:45, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: OK, last relist. Are Eastmain's two sources (or any other people can find) adequate or not?

DELETE - Concur with opening argument. Some news searches came up with similar articles. There is insufficient significant coverage to write a biography. ogenstein (talk) 06:06, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At this time, he doesn’t meet notability. Seems to have been one event 10 years ago. Trillfendi (talk) 15:22, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
