Deletion of Edward McSweegan

Comment: individual is clearly notable as a search of http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=edward.mcsweegan&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn Google News Archive, http://books.google.com/books?tab=np&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=edward.mcsweegan Google Books and http://books.google.com/books?tab=np&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=edward.mcsweegan Google Scholar indicate. He has held a significant government post in his field (more than one, actually) and has been covered in depth for his views. I'd love to make this go away by deleting the article but unless OFFICE comes up with a rationale for that I have to stay with 
Stance: keep
