Delete fails WP:BIO and Wikipedia is not infinite bandwidth. Not cited. GreenJoe 03:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong delete Nothing even approaching notability. -RustavoTalk/Contribs 03:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • keep Green party apparatchik, executive director of Green Institute, among other functions. Pete.Hurd 03:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep minor party but major figure, national significance, not just local.DGG 06:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: Being in a position of prominence in a national political party is definitely notable. If this were about the executive director of a major Dem or Rep think tank this wouldn't be at AfD. IvoShandor 09:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - executive of minor party. Non-notable and the article on the Green Institute is itself going through a prod. --Kimontalk 12:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep High national position in very notable party. --Oakshade 16:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this is equivalent to being a secondary player in a secondary league. Carlossuarez46 21:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Personage is obviously notable.--Mike18xx 07:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Dean Myerson gets 100k+ ghits, is a major figure in a national political party, comparison to sports is specious.--killing sparrows (chirp!) 16:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    • "Dean Myerson" gets 686 ghits, not 100k+, of which several are WP & mirrors, without quotes, your search criteria brings up every dean of every college institution that has someone on the same page named Myerson (typical results are "Alan Myerson, dean of engineering and science at IIT" and other irrelevant "results." The disingenuous nature of the google argument is typical of the overstatement of importance of this nobody and has much analogy to sports where hype is king. Carlossuarez46 20:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, you are correct, I meant 1000, not 100k. The comparison to sports is still invalid. Apples and oranges. As stated, he is a major figure in a national political party. --killing sparrows (chirp!) 23:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Green Institute. Being the executive director of a research institute is obviously important. --JJay 19:27, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and Carlossuarez46. Arbustoo 07:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
