Prod removed for no discernible (or stated) reason. Nothing here to suggest notability. TheLongTone (talk) 14:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was a notable figure in a period of change to the college admissions system at a notable university. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyungjoo98 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Administrative position not high enough for automatic notability through WP:PROF (he was not head of an entire university) so to be notable he needs to pass WP:GNG, which requires multiple reliably-published sources, independent of him, that provide significant coverage of him. But that's not what we have; instead, we have stories that mention him only in passing or that quote him rather than covering him. And the claim that he was a leader in changes to college admissions, rather than merely being an administrator during those changes, are only very weakly supported by the sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
