Article provides too little information to be considered a bio, only cites a page of where he may be employed and a 1998 resume hosted at CNN. Grammarxxx (talk) 02:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are plenty of news and book references to Greenlee in his capacity as mayor and councilman of Boulder, his ownership of a radio station, his failed bid for Congress, and even somethings in association with JonBenet Ramsey; however, it appears that all of this brings him up to the line of notability but not over it. I find subjects like this difficult in that I'm not sure this passes the spirit of WP:GNG. I also tend to be quite tolerant of articles of former mayors, or mention of them in the various articles about cities and towns. Location (talk) 15:39, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge into an article on Greenlee Family Foundation. Without the expansion of the Greenlee Family Foundation section (which I just added a brief to the article in question), I would vote to delete this article. Bob Greenlee is more notable when he is the head of a Foundation. Expand of the Foundation info or redo the article based on the Foundation. Jrcrin001 (talk) 07:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep As the former mayor and longtime city council member of Boulder, Colorado, a college town of almost 100,000 residents, he meets WP:POLITICIAN which allows articles on "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". As Location points out, Greenlee has received that kind of coverage. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of coverage, even if what was in the article was a bit limited. A long time mayor of a fairly large city, a noteworthy Congressional candidate, and an owner/board member of some fairly large corporations seems like he meets notability. I've added some sources since the existing page was a big sparse, but that was a problem with the writeup, not the subject PantsB (talk) 06:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
