Aside from being a very small stub, this article seems to violate WP:ONEEVENT -- and it isn't even something he did; it's something his son did (so maybe a little WP:INHERITED as well). Erpert (let's talk about it) 15:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per WP:POLITICIAN, doesn't seem to be one of the automatically-likely-included ones, and I don't see sufficient actual (not implicit by position or related to event/relative) independent notability for this person himself. DMacks (talk) 15:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plenty of GNews hits not related to son going back to 1995. Use "David Brown" Dallas police -Wikipedia.

- All those hits mention him, but don't really talk about him. Erpert (let's talk about it) 08:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the newly added refs -- they relate to his career and appointment. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 01:46, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the police chief of one of the nation's largest cities is de facto notable, and a good article could be written from numerous existing WP:RS, although the current over-emphasis on one event is concerning Vartanza (talk) 22:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - poor article but the man is a notable public servant by dint of serving as the police chief of one of the US's largest cities. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 01:24, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added some bare bones material no re his son. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw the nomination. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
