  • Comment. Umm, the reason isn't really clear to me. Would you care to dilate on the rationale for your nomination? Deor (talk) 01:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Reason: Sorry for the lame reason. My keyboard is not working o I was avoiding long descriptions. The reason I put it up was that it is an unotable biography with no encyclopedic content whatsoever. UzEE (Talk • Contribs) 01:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. MoH, MoH taken away, DA of New York County, meaning a key consigliere of the Tammany crowd, and resigned and was prosecuted for malfeasance in office; also prosecuted case of Johnson Chesnut Whittaker.
