This man fails the guidelines for notability as little has been written about him; the article is unsourced Beerest 2 talk 02:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sources exist, mainly on the Pittsburgh Police Chief article and numerous others, he is of similar notability as another other major city 20th century administrator and deserves inclusion on the encyclopedia. For my part I will work to find more sources and and further data, however there are hundreds of Pittsburgh related stubs that can also use TLC to avoid any "Proposed Deletion" so my deepest sentiment on this would be to invite any and all to assist with the dozens of Police Chiefs, city and county agencies, parks, corporations and the like. Thank you for your care in this matter.^{Market St.⧏}_{⧐ Diamond Way} 05:55, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the article, migrated 3 references currently on wikipedia's Pittsburgh Police Chief article as well as added a few more, I will continue to work on expanding the article however not every important and necessary article will or should be lengthy.^{Market St.⧏}_{⧐ Diamond Way} 06:34, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Police chiefs of major cities are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, article has been greatly expanded and article length is not indicative of importance. Also agree that major city police chiefs are by default notable.^{Market St.⧏}_{⧐ Diamond Way} 21:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Served a decade as a police chief of a major American city. Sufficient for notability--GrapedApe (talk) 23:44, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
