Fails WP:GNG. Some cited sources here, such as Ballotpedia, this, and this WP:FORBESCON piece do not contribute to GNG, nor does the book that he authored. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:19, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even after excluding non-RSs, there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG/WP:BASIC. Coverage includes his recent death, his involvement with the transition for the second Trump presidency, Operation Warp Speed and his book about it (two reviews of which are cited in the article), and his Pennsylvania gubernatorial run.

Mango's work on Warp Speed is mentioned in books on the subject, including Brendan Borrell's First Shots (along with his Esquire article excerpt https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/a37990781/covid-vaccine-development-race/). There's also a National Review review of his OWS memoir (https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/07/the-lessons-of-operation-warp-speed/ accessible at https://archive.is/dLu4A). Obituaries that mention his Warp Speed work are at Politico, Stat News, Fierce Biotech, and Forbes. 2600:4808:60D5:6D00:CD9C:1348:D858:85CF (talk) 16:04, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I deprodded it on a suspicion that he might meet NAUTHOR, and tried searching for reviews. Of those two reviews, I am not familiar with one of the websites. I only got so far, so this discussion can be a forum to unearth more sources. Geschichte (talk) 08:56, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on basic significant coverage. It's no longer a resume. He's dead, Jim. Bearian (talk) 05:17, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sourcing provided by IP user above. Passes WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 21:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
