Autobiography/resume (co-written by an Associate Director of Public Relations) of the executive vice president of a small liberal arts college. No indication of notability per WP:BIO, and no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources apart from some local press coverage. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 15:46, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - I just don't see evidence of notability besides that he's a common figure at the university to give press quotes to local media.
As a note on what I was looking for (and I realise this does risk sound like condoning addition of puffery), what would have me vote keep on this would be clear evidence that his leadership is recognised outside his university as significant (industry awards, recognition, other academic administrators citing his influence, being a frequent keynote speaker at conferences in how to do academic administration well, etc.), but I don't see those things.

Delete for now perhaps as this seems questionable for the applicable notability. Notifying DGG for analysis. SwisterTwister talk 23:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A mid-level administrator, not an academic. The publications are trivial. The areas of the university he supervises are the non-academic part of things, unlike a position, like Provost. His core function seems to be fund-raising. The article is furthermore considerably promotional, both for him and his employer. DGG ( talk ) 23:41, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Promotionally written with no evidence of passing WP:PROF. In particular his publications lack the impact needed for WP:PROF#C1 and his administrative position is not high enough for #C6. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At least for now, he lacks the adequate notability. Arashtitan 15:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
