Teddy Harris[edit]

Not notable. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. He's merely an elected local official who does not meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Evb-wiki (talk) 14:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Harris is a well known politician in Walker County Georgia. farstar1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farstar1 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 25 August 2008 (UTC) — Farstar1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete per the article: city council member of a very small town (pop. 3500 according to its article). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. No idea why the speedy was declined. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete-Fails WP:BIO by a long shot. Just because someone is a politician does not automatically place them in Wikipedia. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line}_{Review Me!} 15:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No evidence of notability per WP:BIO. Appears to be intended as a promotional piece, possibly to promote his campaign for re-election. It's very likely an autobiography. I think this qualifies for speedy deletion under G11. I guess the request for speedy deletion under G12 was declined because the article is no longer a verbatim copy of copyrighted material from one of Teddy Harris' websites, but the only sources for the article are still websites he operates. --Orlady (talk) 15:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Small-town council member doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN and WP:RS coverage found is strictly local with little depth. • Gene93k (talk) 17:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If we ever change the name of the site to Rossvillepedia, he might meet our guidelines. Right now? Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 20:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest Possible Delete for filling our nostrils with the stink of WP:VSCA, failing miserably to establish notability under either WP:BIO or WP:POLITICIAN and for being a smalltown boor who keeps the spirit of American Babbittry alive. Eddie.willers (talk) 18:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
