Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Longtime chief of staff to Cory Booker, but doesn't appear to be independently notable. Most sources that are actually about him are not significant coverage. GPL93 (talk) 21:15, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being chief of staff to a mayor and/or senator is not an automatic free notability pass just because the person exists, but this is not referenced well enough to get Butler over WP:GNG: it is referenced to a mix of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people, not to coverage that is substantively about him. If Cory Booker becomes president in 2020 or 2024 and this guy tags along as his presidential chief of staff, then the notability basis will have changed — but nothing that's already true of him now is already a notability-clincher as of today.

Delete on account of subject failing WP:GNG. Almost all the sources are about someone or something else and not about him. The rest are promos and name drops, of which the most prominent is this in the New York Times. -The Gnome (talk) 13:56, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
