Subject fails WP:GNG. Being a local transportation board member hardly qualifies one for a Wikipedia biography. Lepricavark ( talk) 04:14, 20 October 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nominator, board members of a local transportation authority don't qualify for inclusion into Wikipedia, unless they have done something significant. A quick search on Google only provides the one source mentioned in the article, no significant others, apart from facebook, et al. Night fury 08:18, 20 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete After searching, I don't see sources that would rise to WP:BASIC. Frequently quoted, but never discussed. -- joe decker talk 15:27, 20 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Being a member of a transit authority board can occasionally get a person into WP:GNG if they can be sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG for it — but it's not an automatic inclusion freebie that guarantees an article just because he exists. And there's no evidence that he clears GNG, either. Bearcat ( talk) 17:18, 22 October 2017 (UTC) reply
