Deletion of Mike Halfacre

Comment: This article is in need of improvement, not deletion. State cabinet members and the heads of state executive agencies are generally notable. In fact, all 50 states have a category listing cabinet members - :Category:State cabinet secretaries of the United States.  The  standard states that ''"a person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."'' Halfacre has had significant coverage in multiple regional and national newspapers, thus easily fulfilling that requirement. Without searching too hard, I found articles on him in the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Boston Globe

Meets ,  (with many more that can be added), and contrary to what the nominator asserts citing , I think the above links are just the beginning of ''"significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists''.  This deletion nomination simply does not meet any of the criteria at -REASON
