Speedy keep/self close: Realized the author's subject does have extensive coverage under the nickname Matt Daniels (mainly for his work opposing LGBTQ rights, which is assiduously avoided in the article text and thus was not part of my keyword searches for WP:Before.

WP:NACADEMIC, based on criterion 5, The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research
. Daniels does hold a named chair at the
Institute of World Politics, but my sense is that IWP does not qualify as a major institution under the criteria. It is a very small (<200 students), relatively young (founded 1990), and highly specific organization that focuses only on graduate international affairs. If other editors agree that it does not qualify as major, then deletion is warranted: though the body appears extensive, albeit highly promotional, scrutiny of the sourcing shows that it is all self-published, non-independent, or tangential. While complicated somewhat by the generic name,
WP:BEFORE did not unearth significant coverage to warrant the article existence. (Note that "Games for Good" is not the same organization as that covered briefly in some sources like IGN in the early 2000s).
