WP:BIO states

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

I am not seeing significant coverage in independent secondary sources. The existing sources in the article are mostly internal lists, announcements, etc., which are neither independent nor secondary. I was able to find a 2007 Gamasutra article mentioning Klein's keynote speech at Game Developers Conference 2007, and an article from "Educationdive.com" which is used to cite the assertion that Klein was elected to the WMF board in 2009. Unfortunately, these additions do not bring the sourcing to a level needed to demonstrate notability, IMO. Eddymason (talk) 07:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Or perhaps use the Wikipedia:Userfy under SJ's page. But it does fail Wikipedia:Notability (people) as far as I can tell. Please see the similar situation at his collegue's page, Benjamin Mako Hill (which he started). I am afraid it's too soon for both of them. --Ego Hunter (talk) 05:36, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete or userfy per nom, as the sources in article now, as well as most of those I could find through Google, are primary. Fails WP:BIO. Jinkinson talk to me 01:26, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
