David Buttross II

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No indication of meeting WP:POLITICIAN. Local business man and faioled mayoral candidate. Some coverage in local business journal. noq (talk) 16:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

David also received significant coverage by Austin's main newspaper Austin American Statesman and the reference was just cited... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgultz (talk • contribs) 16:26, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A reference to Austin's main television channel covering Buttross as a candidate was added and further establishes Buttross as a notable person in Austin

A minor candidate that finished "a distant fourth" getting some coverage in the local media is not significant coverage otherwise all local politicians would be able to pass muster. noq (talk) 16:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, however David is notable in the Austin business and civic community and is most notable for creating a business incubator in Austin that provides affordable lease space for small startups and up and comers... for those of us in the Austin community he is not just notable, but a highly important figure that is helping the Austin business climate and should be on Wikipedia for others to learn about...

Delete - local activist and businessman, fails WP:POLITICIAN. Bearian (talk) 19:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:14, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet WP:POLITICIAN as mayoral candidate, other activities do not meet threshold of notability. Only sources are purely local and appear trivial. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:40, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

added Austin Business Journal Articles about David Buttross under external links... David is influential and important in Austin... I believe he is notable Mgultz (talk) 01:48, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yeah, Google News hits for a handful of real estate deals and the failed candidacies, but he does not seem to meet the standard of notability. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 01:16, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
