[edit] Albert J. Ruffo

With a respective 15 to 31 hits for Albert Ruffo or Albert J. Ruffo, [1] [2] is this figure an exclusion to the Wikipedia:Google test? GRider\talk 22:11, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ruffo was more commonly called "Al", and a Google search for "Al Ruffo" turns up about 900 hits in english. [3] Gentgeen 07:56, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, is this article a copyvio, see [4] or just ripped off from Wikipedia? There is no tags to indicate where it was sourced from. Megan1967 00:49, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • They're a highly noncompliant mirror. Check out some of "their" other articles. Bad them, bad bad them. —Korath (Talk) 11:29, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sounds like he was a great man, however not a notable one IMO. Unless, of course, we have decided that city council members of large cities are encyclopedic ... what became of that consensus? He was on the San Jose city council (and as much as those of us in San Francisco hate to admit it, SJ is bigger than SF). HyperZonktalk 18:10, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
    • The Chicago councilman consensus is still in discussion, but is leaning towards merging the lot of them.
  • Keep--there's no consensus either way on the local politicians, unfortunately. I think we should err on the side of caution here. Meelar (talk) 18:22, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems notable enough. Gamaliel 18:33, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, does not seem notable enough. ComCat 02:27, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. He was mayor, councilman, and a co-founder of the 49ers. None of those individually would convince me to keep, but put them together and he scrapes by. DaveTheRed 07:31, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete concurring with Hyperzonk. Radiant! 10:18, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. What DaveTheRed said, plus it looks like a proper multi-paragraph Wikipedia article. -- Infrogmation 17:30, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, no good reason to delete - David Gerard 01:26, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Google test is not so good on a mostly local figure whose main fame predates the Web by decades. I would be surprised if this couldn't be expanded into a really worthwhile article. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:33, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, although the article could use an expansion. Gentgeen 07:56, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Being a mayor of a major city is notable as is founding a notable football team. Doing both definitely qualifies. Keep and expand. Capitalistroadster 10:24, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
