Nothing to actually suggest his own notability apart from the company itself and even then there's nothing to suggest he has inherited notability from that company; my own searches have simply found exactly what this article contains, PR....nothing convincing.

Keep the awards, hall of fame nomination and power list ranking show signs of importance in the field. There's a few questionable sources here and some fluff, but seeing enough sans those to meet WP:GNG. News Team Assemble!^[talk?] 11:37, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ketchum Inc. I am not convinced that the person is independently notable of the company. This is probably the best source I found, but it still doesn't justify an entire article. Most other sources are press releases. At this point, I see this as a BLP1E which would be covered in the context of the company. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge of relevant content to Ketchum Inc., which presently only has a passing mention. This will improve the merge target article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:07, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
