Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adam Smith (Kentucky politician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. While not linked here, closure has an eye on the old VfD archived on the article's talk page. To avoid "asking the other parent", I must consider both sets of arguments as well as the current state of WP:BIO. Notability to WP:BIO is likely present because the editors in 2004 were able to replace campaign literature with an article written from independent coverage. Reference citationss, however, are lacking, due to the different standards in effect in 2004. GRBerry 15:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Smith (Kentucky politician)

Adam Smith (Kentucky politician) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Not-notable "politician" who has never one an election. Fails WP:BIO. Brewcrewer 06:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. I completely understand the nomination and how this person isn't very significant. I searched for him on a few engines and political areas, and found nothing encyclopedic or historical about him or anything he has done. The most notable thing he has done has run for some governmental positions, and that's about it. BeanoJosh 06:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unnecessary ambiguation with economics pioneer Adam Smith, not a notable person regardless of name. Mandsford 13:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Adam was only 26 and defeated two experienced candidates who were much older. Also 2004 was a courageous year to run as a liberal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.69.63.254 (talk) 20:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
