This article was nominated for deletion on October 31, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.

This article is not "an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject."

The importance is, after one of the worst catastrophes in human history (Katrina), happened in New Orleans, the sheriff of a near by parish said in so many words that black folks weren't welcomed there. It was major news. I was surprised that the page didn't exist to begin with. This is a government official being openly racist towards poor black folks who had just experienced one of the worst disasters in history - not only the hurricane, but the criminal lack of action by the federal government to help the victims. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Redflagflying (talk • contribs) .

Needs more discussion. I've listed it at WP:AFD for general comment. Chick Bowen 04:07, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what the problem is? Clearly this guy isn't some "nobody" that no one's ever heard of. There are entries on much more insignificant people here. Redflagflying 05:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

There's no problem; it looks like the page will probably be kept. I just wanted to open it up to larger discussion, since questions had been raised. Chick Bowen 16:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
