The Gregory R. Ball article has remained on spam and advertisement lists for some time. As others have pointed out, its length exceeds that of many notable subjects, and Ball himself is hardly notable. Rutherford B. Hayes should not have to compete with him for space.

Speedy Keep Member of NY state legislature. Meets WP:Politician. Other problems are to be dealt with by editing-- and there does seem to be need of it, though, in my personal opinion, the article is no more unfairly negative than a fair article would be for many members of my state's legislature.

The issue wasn't negativity, but positivity at the time--one of his staffers was extensively contributing. Editing has fixed part of that. 70.23.79.141 (talk) 14:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
