Ted Halstead[edit]

Not notable enough for Wikipedia. Kingturtle (talk) 05:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed. Kingturtle sums it up. Bruno23 (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although it is difficult to contradict such comprehensive and incisive analysis as the above, I must demur on the basis of this subject's 235 Google News hits, several of which appear to lead to multiple instances of non-trivial coverage in such easily-dismissable sources as The Atlantic, The Washington Post. National Public Radio and The New York Times. Regretfully, and with due respect to the sterling research effort of the trigger-happy heroes, I move to facepalm keep.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep I think Skomorokh is correct. The 235 listings in the google news archive lead to a wealth of information to prove notability. The article needs to be expanded. AlbinoFerret (talk) 16:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've expanded the article a bit based upon his bio, and with some more research anyone could lengthen this article considerably. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 18:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
