• Comment: Article was already deleted for a reason. What the subject wrote does not make him notable. Sources in the government which employed him are not independent at WP:BLP1E applies. Please wait until subject dies as obituary coverage is independent and often more circumspect. Chris Troutman ( talk) 17:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Well, I see that most of the references presented in this draft is reliable with independent to the subject but I didn't find any significant coverage about the subject. Except above declining reason, another reason for declining this draft is fails to pass WP:ANYBIO. Fade258 ( talk) 15:06, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
