Thomas O'Grady[edit]

Already deleted once and again created. Nominating it for Deletion as it looks like a political add. It fails at WP:BIO as well. -- Niaz ^{(Talk •}^Contribs) 10:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He is the mayor of a small town, and is a candidate to become a candidate for Congress. This doesn't meet WP:BIO. A ecis^Brievenbus 11:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Perhaps salt if this article is deleted again with no opposition I suppose that might be a little extreme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sin Harvest (talk • contribs) 11:07, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have modified the page per the request above from Niaz.--Avfwiki (talk) 13:28, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:BIO. No sources are given. Dekisugi (talk) 13:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added references as requested.--Avfwiki (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Wow, you all think 34,000 people is a little town? I'm a bit surprised by your demands here. Greswik (talk) 17:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Number of people doesn't play an important role while deciding someone's notability. In South Asia, 34,000 people may live in an avenue. Should we start creating articles on political leaders of those localities? -- Niaz ^{(Talk •}^Contribs) 22:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:BIO: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" Rsazevedo ^msg 00:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Jeepers. Notable per wp:n, significant as Kucinich opponent, constellation of news mentions in Lexis/Nexis.--Wageless (talk) 02:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, ample precedent on small-town mayors. Noble Sponge (talk) 10:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Coverage by reliable third party sources is cited in the article. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 07:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
