[edit] Nicholas Scoppetta
Non notable person in my opinion, others may disagree hence afd Dave 18:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would say listify, but some of the office holders (e.g. Howard Safir) does have decent articles. But after all they might be notable, seeing as they head "the largest combined Fire and EMS provider in the world". Punkmorten 21:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Dave, I don't know how you can consider the current Fire Commissioner of the City of New York a "non notable person". Mr. Scoppetta has been a Federal Prosecutor, a Federal Judge, a Commissioner of the New York City Administration for Children's Services (ACS), and now the New York City Fire Commissioner. He may (in your opinion) be a "non notable person", but to millions of people in the New York City Metropolitan area, he is a VERY NOTABLE PERSON! Please don't delete Mr. Scoppetta's article, as you are very mistaken in your misguided assupmtion of his non importance! Jerskine 23:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I believe being the head of a government agency as broad as the FDNY (over $1B budget) is completely notable. And if consensus is that he's nn, well, there's still enough out there to write an article in a NPOV using reliable, verifiable sources. SliceNYC 01:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. A Google News Archive comes up with over 1500 news stories about him. [1] He is clearly notable as a seniot official in one of the world's largest cities and played a significant role after the September 11 attacks. Capitalistroadster 03:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. I agree with Jerskine. You can't consider the current Fire Commissioner of the City of New York a "non-notable person"! JimmyMack 14:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
