[edit] Hilary Cleveland

delete per WP:NN. "Hilary Cleveland" scored 376Ghits, although mostly relevant and has been active Republican lobbyist. Alternatively to merge with James Colgate Cleveland, who has also a one-line wiki article. Ohconfucius 13:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. Utterly non-notable individual with no verifiable sources cited. Scorpiondollprincess 14:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Change to Keep. Verifiable sources have been provided and much better notability has been established. Page probably still needs some work, but seems nationally notable as revised and cited. Good update. Scorpiondollprincess 14:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete fails to show or assert verified notability to the levels outlined by WP:BIO.--blue520 15:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Change to Weak Keep due to the revision to the bio and aditon references / news articles.--blue520 09:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Leave As an active professor she holds some interest to students who might wish to take her class and want to know more about her. A wikipedia search would aid them in that. She was the former Town Moderator of New London for a number of years. I'm not sure to what extent local government officials are permitted to be on Wikipedia.

Hilary Cleveland made both national and local news when she spoke strongly against Bush and supported Howard Dean in the primary (her late husband James Colgate Cleveland was a Republican Congressman and the family were (perhaps still are) friends with the elder President Bush). She later became the head of the GOP Women for Kerry steering commitee #REDIRECT [[1]] though she only had brief involvement with the campaign. She is by no means an active Republican lobbyist. Featured in Newsweek, Boston Globe, among other publications: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/bush/articles/2004/09/12/a_telling_shift_in_allegiance?mode=PF http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3339604/

If she is still deemed nn by the community-I'm not sure where the line in the sand is though personally I favor inclusion in most all cases-I support the motion to merge with James Colgate Cleveland. Perches 00:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

In light of new information and revision to the bio with references, it does appear that I missed something: Whilst I don't think she would qualify as notable by being a professor, nor by being anti-bush republican again is not particularly notable. However her active involvement with Stern and Kerry, especially as head of GOP for women probably swings it for me. I would now move to stay the execution. Ohconfucius 01:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per current references - notability established. --Aguerriero (talk) 04:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
