Thomas Suozzi[edit]

local politician, fails WP:BIO#Basic criteria, WP:POLITICIAN

This politician passes WP:GNG hands down. I had previously closed this article per WP:SNOW as I must say this is probably the most obviously notable subject I have ever seen at AFD, but I was reverted and labeled a vandal by the nominator. Anyways rather than edit war, super strong keep per my previous closing rationale.[1] - Icewedge (talk) 03:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for reasons stated above. I'm not sure if I agree with Icewedge's closing, but it clearly wasn't vandalism. JamesMLane t c 03:15, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If this is "the most obviously notable subject" that Icewedge has ever seen at AFD, he should spend more time here. This subject appears to have several instances of substantial coverage in reliable and independent sources. This is not to say that every "county executive" or equivalent in the world has any inherent notability. Edison2 (talk) 04:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Significant elected position. Obviously notable. Edward321 (talk) 13:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
