Seems to have been created purely because this was one of 4 recess appointments. I see no previous entries for people holding the position of "chief counsel of advocacy for the Small Business Administration", and don't think he meets WP:N for anything else. So creating an entry purely because he's mentioned in the news as 1 of 4 recess appointments would fall foul of WP:BLP1E. Rd232 talk 08:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Per nom.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:01, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The Wisconsin Technology Network does not notability make. Beyond that, the other two sparse refs are insufficient to reflect the broad coverage required to evidence notability, nor is the title "chief counsel of advocacy for the Small Business Administration" one that is automatically viewed as notable.--Epeefleche (talk) 13:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Obviously. Nom failed to follow wp:before. The nom also looks like antagonistic retaliation for reverting his POV pushing in other articles. Freakshownerd (talk) 12:39, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I reject that on all counts (I did a BEFORE check). With the expansion, this looks more notable, though I'll leave others to judge. Rd232 talk 13:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Seems to be a distinguished engineer. For example, Bloomberg says "He has been named a Kauffman Fellow – Class 11 and has received the inaugural 2002 Wisconsin Distinguished Young Alumni Award and was the 2003 Outstanding Engineering Alumni Awardee from Northeastern University.".

- Delete - Awards appear to be trivial, not nearly enough to establish notability. Same for the SBA position. A bit of a pointy article creation simply because it was an Obama recess appointment, so all we're left with is WP:BLP1E. Tarc (talk) 22:16, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep. Interesting. I was all set to go Delete on this as BLP1E until I saw this. That looks like not-trivial reliable coverage from well before the one event he's best known for. CW's source is also good, being balanced between historical and recent coverage. Overall, maybe just enough. Alzarian16 (talk) 10:56, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If the tech stuff could just be documented in a more mainstream media source [I'm excluding the Bloomberg listing, it's not news], I'd lean to keep. But GNews has nothing that doesn't relate primarily to his SBA appointment. Still, it's well-documented enough to make me neutral now. Rd232 talk 09:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - as per WP:BLP1E no indication of lasting significance. Codf1977 (talk) 14:17, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Seems that thuis is not that notavble an appointment..Slatersteven (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Close call, but the individual is clearly not notable per WP:N. The whole recess appointment thing is WP:BLP1E. It's very unlikely that we could actually fill an article with notable information about this person. This would be a permastub article that would only serve as a glorified resume.
