Minor political figure. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. No secondary sources whatsoever on article, and although WP:BEFORE turned tons of Gnews hits, they're all simply namechecks and quotes from the subject, exactly what you'd expect to find for a staffer.

Yo, see his credentials:

South Dakota Board of Regents member or regent appointed by the Governor Mike Rounds, see predecessor Harvey C. Jewett IV (same or similar credentials)
Chief of staff to Governor Dennis Daugaard, see predecessor chief of staff Dusty Johnson (same or similar credentials)
Campaign manager of Dennis Daugaard's successful South Dakota gubernatorial election, 2010 & South Dakota gubernatorial election, 2014

Delete - fails GNG, V, and NPOL. L293D (☎ • ✎) 14:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Several of these are roles that could get him an article if he could be shown as the subject of enough reliable source media coverage for them to clear WP:GNG, but none of them are "inherently" notable roles that automatically guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because his existence can technically be verified in a primary source list of university scholarship recipients. Notability for Wikipedia purposes is not a question of what an article says, but of how well it does or doesn't reference what it says. Bearcat (talk) 03:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
