[edit] Warren P. McGuirk

Warren P. McGuirk (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I am listing this article for deletion as I feel the subject of the article is Non-notable - the only thing Warren P. McGuirk is suggested to be notable for is being the dean of a university & having a local stadium named after him. Smells of OR & seems like it was written by someone close to him. If this article can't be deleted, I'd also suggest that maybe it could be merged into a relevant article, such as the stadium or the university.

• Merging into Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium would probably be best, since folks reading that article are sure to wonder who he was. --kingboyk 23:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per Kingboyk's suggestion. --Lockley 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

    • Sorry there Spawn Man. All props to you (grin) --Lockley 00:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep He was the Dean of Athletics, so the naming is not absurd, but the question is whether the Athletics director at a university is notable. Many of them are. He's from U Mass Amherst. I think that qualifies, and it is surely sourcable--but not my field exactlyDGG 07:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
• Keep or redirect without merge. The Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium basically contains everything it should about this person (was the "Athletic Director from 1948 to 1971"), so I don't think a merge is really necessary. Either redirect this to there as a plausible search term or keep for expansion. A Dean at U Mass for almost 25 years should be notable ... . -- Black Falcon 21:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
