Proposed deletion of Stephen Squeri

The article Stephen Squeri has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

I added a source from CNBC, so people have a bit . Marketwatch and reuters have similar articles, so I'll probably add those as well. Obviously he's noteworthy, but not much is written about him. Hopefully someone will see that it is only currently a stub and needs to be expanded. Doug Cousins (talk) 18:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NSA

I don't have to, it's you that made the change without proper sourcing. Neovu79 (talk) 02:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did add a source. You didn't. Doug Cousins (talk) 02:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a proper source. All that states, it that he was confirmed by the Senate. It can sometimes take months before the officer assumes command. All well know is that Rogers will step down sometime in the next few days or weeks. Neovu79 (talk) 02:07, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Once confirmed by the Senate, the office is assumed by the nominee. Doug Cousins (talk) 02:08, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is incorrect. If is officer is confirmed and immediately assumed office, then explain why two other confirmed four-star nominees: VADM Christopher W. Grady, Lt Gen Timothy M. Ray, has yet to assume command or be promoted? They have not assumed command because the current Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander, Air Force Global Strike Command respectively are still on active duty and in command.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/04/24/senate-confirms-nakasone-head-nsa-cyber-command.html -- Paul Nakasone "replaces the current director, Mike Rogers, who is retiring." Not "will replace", "replaces". Your sources are where? Doug Cousins (talk) 02:31, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, that source says "(he) replaces the current director, Mike Rogers, who is retiring." It is not specific on when Rogers is retiring, or when Nakasone assumes command. Every four-star command holds a "change-of-command" ceremony that marks the official day a new commander assumes command, and if an officer is also promoted to four-star rank, it marks the first date-of-rank of that officer. Neovu79 (talk) 02:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"he replaces" means exactly that. not "he will replace" in the future. "he replaces" present tense. And since the article is 14 hours old, he replaced rogers 14 hours ago. Doug Cousins (talk) 02:41, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If Nakasone is the new commander, then why is Rogers still listed as the current commander? https://www.nsa.gov/about/leadership/ Neovu79 (talk) 02:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because Nakasone's first acts as commander do not include obsessing over whoever runs the nsa's website. Cochran was listed as chair of the senate appropriations committee for weeks after he retired.. I'm still waiting for your article claiming Rogers will stay on after Nakasone is confirmed by the Senate.. Doug Cousins (talk) 02:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to do a little more research. Nakasone does not assume command until April 27, 2018. The change of command ceremony will he hosted by General Joseph Dunford. https://www.dvidshub.net/webcast/15142 02:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

I notice your (4?) edits at Paul M. Nakasone delete any mention of his having been confirmed by the Senate. And at the very least the infobox should remain with "designate" & TBA (or April 27 according to dvidshub?) for date. Doug Cousins (talk) 02:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with you stating that he will assume office on April 27th. That's a fact not in dispute. Neovu79 (talk) 02:57, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with you not deleting the fact that Nakasone was unanimously confirmed by the Senate 4 times. And he is the NSA director already. Your link is no fact. I'll give you 20 minutes to come up with a middle ground before I have to report you. Doug Cousins (talk) 03:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can are welcome to put any information that is factual on the page: i.e. senate confirmation information. And he is NOT the NSA director already. Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presides at a change-of command ceremony as Army Gen. Paul M. Nakasone takes the reins of U.S. Cyber Command from retiring Navy Adm. Michael S. Rogers at Fort Meade, Md., April 27, 2018. Your threats of reporting is negligible at best to me. I am pretty amendable, so long as it's factual. Neovu79 (talk) 03:20, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your link has already changed. Joe Dunford does not overrule senate confirmation. Nakasone was confirmed by the Senate today, a fact you deleted 4 times. I have to warn you for that since you seem unwilling to provide your version of what you think happened today - only pretending nothing happened today. I provided 2 links indicating he replaces Rogers today. You provided a tentative future hearing by a guy Joe Dunford who is a rogue actor. Doug Cousins (talk) 03:38, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New update. Change of command ceremony has been delayed until May 4, 2018. https://www.dvidshub.net/webcast/15142 Neovu79 (talk) 16:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm.... Nakasone was promoted to general and assumed command of USCYBERCOM/NSA/CSS today.... https://www.nsa.gov/about/leadership/bio-pnakasone.shtml Neovu79 (talk) 20:53, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
