- comment - but under what part of WP:BIO would we justify any claim of notability? President of a state medical society? Local officeholder in one county? Raw Googlehits don't constitute substantial coverage in reliable sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:07, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You appear to have mistaken me for someone who made any statement at all. I was considering the value of being a long term president of a state medical society, but he was only president for one year. So, instead of making a pronouncement, I passed on a link that might be helpful to others in coming to a conclusion. I'm not sure what's with the "raw googlehits" part either. Did I mention google? On the other hand... (why am I rebutting the rebuttal of something I didn't say? *sigh*) reliable sourcing is fixable (see WP:ATD) so I'm not sure why you'd have made the statement even if I HAD quoted significant results in google. You could probably get away with "This is BLP so we absolutely NEED RS." but otherwise... - BalthCat (talk) 17:22, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete He has been president of the state medical society, and is a county commissioner now running for re-election. Both good things. But neither of those qualifies him as notable per [WP:GNG]] or WP:Politician. News and Google hits are all simply local stories about the local election - not enough to confer notability. We're getting a lot of non-notable politicians with deletable wikipages right now; it's an election year. --MelanieN (talk) 01:42, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN and, for completeness, WP:BIO as well. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:42, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
