Deletion of Harald Tveit Alvestrand

Comment: Noting that scientists are "|referred to as 'academics' for convenience" and accordingly mapping the ACADEMIC criteria to the context of the IETF, I would argue that authoring a dozen RFCs, half of which are BCPs (including the IETF's mission statement), already clearly satisfies the first ("significant impact") test, as well as the seventh test ("substantial impact outside academia") given the widespread adoption of said RFCs in industry. His membership on several selective and significant boards satisfies test three and/or five ("elected member" and "named chair" respectively), and being the chair of the IETF for a non-negligible time satisfies tests six and/or eight in this context ("highest-level post" and "chief editor" respectively). I also note that his IETF predecessor and successor both have articles with similar profiles, yet neither is listed in AfD

Comment: leaning towards User:SamJ, while we can talk up or down impact, and WP:N is |not inherited from the other chairs as we need multiple non-primary / third party sources for GNG which isn't met yet. In this case, I think despite a BLP, primaries are OK as per NACADEMIC which is the spirit here. I will remove my old notability tag

Comment: With regards to  and , I have found http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/industry/02/27/IETF.chair.idg/index.html one source from a reliable secondary independent outlet with significant independent coverage of the subject (the same exact article is also published https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/ietf-selects-first-non-american-leader/29842 here and a similar article by the same author appears https://books.google.com/books?id=EBwEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30&dq=ietf+alvestrand+news&source=bl&ots=zwTelyfsRd&sig=ACfU3U3EtTqxe-_1vCy6-6S80PS70fVFOw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiT14Hug_HgAhVrkuAKHSJaBXg4ChDoATAAegQICRAB here). I could not find another one but if someone does, that should be sufficient for notability

Comment: Does meet the broader interpretation of .  At a  level, I think a reader in this area would expect to find a WP BLP
