Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Mahoney (New York)
He has not held any role that would confer an automatic pass of , but the stack of badly formatted references aren't getting him over : it consists of a mix of |primary sources (press releases, staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own employers, etc.) that aren't support for notability at all, and news articles that ''mention'' his name without being ''about'' him to any non-trivial degree. That's not how you reference a person as being notable enough for inclusion: he has to be the ''subject'' of a source, not just a name present in the text of an article about a ''different'' subject, before that source counts as a data point toward making him notable
