Fails WP:GNG. ~~The two existing sources are not independent~~ One of the two sources is not independent, the other is just an announcement of the opening of a student center named for him, and I can't find any others. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:45, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Academic notability point 6 was never meant to be broad enough to cover the heads of community colleges. Some may be notable through widespread and sustainted coverage in newsmedia. However we should expect at least as good and as wide ranging coverage in that regard as we would of mayors, and the coverage here does not meet that threshold. I strongly suspect the same is true of his successor as head of this institution that we also have an article on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:41, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with JPL that community college presidency is not automatically notable, but only through WP:GNG-level coverage, which we do not have here. The sources in the article are a non-independent one from the school he worked for and a non-in-depth one from a local newspaper article that is mostly about something else (a facility named after him). My searches didn't turn up anything elsewhere that would change that picture. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:43, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in addition to failing GNG, the content focuses mostly on the history of the community college and not the actual subject. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:41, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
