Delete. Not notable as the incumbent of a non-notable public office (WP:NPOL), with trivial coverage (WP:GNG). SailingInABathTub (talk) 21:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing GNG, especially given BLP risks evident in a Google search.49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 05:37, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Personally I think Chief of Detectives almost certainly isn’t a notable position, but the succession box at the end shows that there are articles about the subject’s predecessors, so clearly in the past holders of the post have been deemed notable.

The articles were all created by @Jimgerbig:. It would be good to understand why they think that the subject is notable. SailingInABathTub (talk) 11:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Mccapra, hi, I thought the same thing when I was reviewing the article, but the actual position does not even have its own article. Furthermore if you take a look at the list at New York City Police Department Detective Bureau#List of chief detectives, you'll see that only 3 others have their own article, the earliest, Albert Seedman is a very well developed article which passes GNG, while the other two, Rodney K. Harrison and [Dermot Shea]], went on to other positions which much more notability, Chief of Department (which is the NYPD version of Chief of Police) and NYPD Police Commissioner.
