John Van Dyke[edit]

perhaps non-notable? also appears to be copied from somewhere M1ss1ontomars2k4 04:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think clean up. I would see most political history as notable. Notability seems to be a ploy to delete the entire wikipedia of late Tmothyh 04:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Deletion for non-notability is perfectly valid - but this chap seems barely notable. U$er 04:38, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I think his membership in a state senate technically qualifies him under WP:BIO, though it'd be nice to see info on further notability. OhNo itsJamie ^Talk 06:52, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup. (it looks like it came directly from Congress's biographical directory as it stands). --DMG413 16:17, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I did some preliminary cleanup; it still reads choppily, and it's by no means the best writing, but it's wikified, at least. Crystallina 21:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep As a former state senator, he meets WP:BIO. Nonetheless, the article needs serious cleanup. AmiDaniel (Talk) 00:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
