GNG failure. I couldn't quickly find anything else about him in a search that brought up several more notable Kevin Roberts'. Assuming there's not much more out there. South Nashua (talk) 23:51, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Oppose As a college president, he was an advocate for rejecting federal aid in order to retain independence. He's quoted in the New York Times about it [https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/12/us/to-keep-free-of-federal-reins-wyoming-catholic-college-rejects-student-aid.html?_r=0 here] and he wrote an opinion piece for The Federalist [http://thefederalist.com/2015/05/28/why-this-wyoming-college-decided-to-reject-federal-money/ here].
    He also filed suit on behalf of his college to oppose the contraceptive mandate in the ACA. Please see [http://trib.com/news/local/education/catholic-college-president-who-fought-affordable-care-act-to-step/article_fe0434fa-3ad8-564b-8e8b-43dc4ffb76a4.html this article from the Caspar Star-Tribune].
    After that he was appointed to be executive v.p. of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. His appointment was covered in the Caspar Tribune (same article) and in the Austin Business Journal [http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2016/04/04/austin-free-market-think-tank-gets-new-leadership.html here].
    He's interviewed about prison reform on a Texas radio station (KFYO) [http://kfyo.com/texas-public-policy-foundation-working-toward-criminal-justice-health-care-funding-reform-interview/ here].
    Sure, the article as it stands is pretty stubby. But that argues for beefing it up, not deleting it. In my view, the subject meets WP:GNG. In my view, this nomination seems flawed. WP:BEFORE.David in DC (talk) 15:39, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep I think being head of Wyoming Catholic College on its own might be enough to pass one of the prongs of academic notability. However David in DC has identified multiple cases of coverage, certainly enough to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
