Delete Non-notable politican who has only held positions within the local party organizations. Equally or less notable than Anthony Castrogiovanni who's page was deleted.--LyonsTwp,IL. 18:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as an elected politician; maybe his elected office isn't by itself enough to satisfy WP:BIO, but his chairmanship of a major corporation & the press flurry about the "bounty" on Daley make him noteworthy enough (and more noteworthy than Tony Peraica, a bio of an elected official at exactly the same level in the same area which the nominator's written. Aside from the Tony Peraica article, the nominator's entire edit history consists of failed attempted db-bios & AfDs on Illinois politicians. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment you are wrong on each of your counts, first most of the pages I have nominated for deletion through db-bio have been deleted, and of the pages I have tried to have deleted through AfD, one (Tony Zirkle from Indiana) was deleted and one (Edward Forchion from New Jersey) wasn't. Second that still isn't my only edit history besides Tony Peraica which by the way I did not create as you had inaccuratly claimed if you had checked its edit history you would have seen that User:Sglover had created it. Third your vote is uninformed if you think Gary Skoien is a county commisioner as Peraica is, Skoien has never held an elected position outside of the local party organization. Your dubious attempt at discrediting me have failed on each of its counts.--LyonsTwp,IL. 17:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Reply to above - you didn't technically create it - however, you did expand it from a three sentence sub-stub to a full length article (the "9 intermediate revisions" are all yours). And your edit count and edit history show that of your 98 mainspace edits, 66 were revisions to Tony Peraica, 20 were attempted db-bios/AfDs on Illinois politicians, and 5 were attempts to slip non-NPOV material into Todd Stroger, leaving just seven "other" edits. I have no axe to grind here (I couldn't care less about Illinois politics) but this nomination looks possibly politically motivated. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
