[edit] County Executive

Starts off with " 1) Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, the county executive committee at primary elections shall perform all duties that relate to etcetera etcetera ..." and goes downhill from there. Delete Dr Gangrene 09:40, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep-it needs to be fixed up though.maybe just creat a stub for now. Xpendersx 13:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. It's a valid political office in the U.S., sometimes with considerable local power. In King County, Washington, for example, the post has sometimes served as the stepping stone to a governorship. — RJH 17:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Good potential for an encyclopedic article. Fernando Rizo T/C 18:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Yes, we should probably have an article on county executive (note the lowercase "e"), but this is just a copy-and-paste of a section of the Mississippi state code. I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's a copyvio. --Carnildo 20:01, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per above arguement. needs massive editting. Hamster Sandwich 20:39, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Copyvio. It's a copy-and-paste of a section of the Mississippi state code. Under Mississippi law, the laws of Mississippi are copyrighted by the state of Mississippi [1]. Any new article should be written at the correct title of county executive (note the lower-case "e"), not at the title listed on VfD. --Carnildo 21:22, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete if the copyvio does not kill it. Yes, we need an article on this, but I suspect that starting from scratch to get to a good article would be easier then fixing this one. Vegaswikian 05:28, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I created a possible replacement stub at County Executive/Temp. The position in most states, I'm aware of, uses the capital 'E' so I left that in the title. Not sure of the wiki sytle mannual in this case. Vegaswikian 05:55, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
