• Leaning delete per Piotrus's rationale. But I did come across a couple of pages from the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, where he is a senior fellow [1], noting that he received an award for his work to implement new policies to secure the rights of same-sex couples at the State Department [2], as well as a 2013 Washington Post article that describes him as "the department’s top human resources adviser on LGBT issues".[3] I didn't find more online content on this topic (which isn't even mentioned in the current version of the article), but if some substantive coverage about his activities in this area were identified, I would reconsider my !vote. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:19, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I've incorporated much of the material and sources found by

  • Nice job, but I still don't see what makes him notable. He got a university award, which was covered in a university newspaper; all other sources either mention him in passing or are not-independent (such as his official homepage biography, etc.). Mid-tier bureaucrat doing unnotable, unencyclopedic work that is simply average and expected for someone of his level in the administration, and receiving corresponding minor recognition in media - I still stand by this assessment. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:24, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Noted. I've added a few more sources I could find from the
    Washington Post and a few others that may help to meet the source independence criterion, but other editors can chime in and say otherwise. Also, to clarify, unless I'm mistaken, the subject received an award from GLIFAA, which is the official association of LGBT diplomats, not a university organization.
