No indication of notability per WP:BIO. All of the references are either passing mentions of him as head of a company of unknown notability, or as head of an LGBT rights group of equally unknown notability. The HuffPo reference is written by him, so not a WP:Secondary source. Even if these groups were notable, WP:Notability is not inherited, and I can only find passing mentions of him online in WP:RS.

- Delete. I also examined every one of the sources and can confirm nom's findings. Every one of the sources offered is either something he wrote himself, a short quote from him (both primary), or an article about something else that doesn't even mention him. Not one of them contributes to notability, which requires multiple reliable independent secondary sources discussing the subject in detail. Msnicki ( talk) 20:28, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as examining the article found no convincing signs of any independent notability at all. SwisterTwister talk 17:27, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Curry's work with Executive Pride is worthy of notability, particularly given the organization's rising presence in the LGBT Rights movement as noted by CNN and the Washington Post. It is possible that Executive Pride deserves a wikipedia page before Curry, in which case I'd be happy to make one, but Curry is backbone of the organization.
