Should this article be kept or deleted?

A deletion proposal was placed on this article on 2024-03-16, without, however offering any explanation as to the concerns that triggered it.

A third party might guess it was one or more of the following... because:

  1. It hadn't been edited since 2011, and was out of date...
  2. It was entirely the work of Howard Berkowitz, and, although he was a trusted editor, at the time, experience has shown the quality of his work could be extremely uneven.

Well, should this article be deleted?

I don't think so.

Director of National Intelligence is, I believe, a cabinet level position, so I don't think anyone could reasonably claim the office isn't important enough figure to justify an article.

In General I would argue against strongly deleting material merely because Howard wrote it.
