[edit] Duncan Joseph Mcinnes

Non-notable and malformed page entry. Delete. -SocratesJedi | Talk 08:55, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. If it's verifiable and undergoes some clean-up (what is with all these pages with people's names in lower case lately?), the relative non-notability doesn't bother me too much. But then again I'm an inclusionist. Wikipedia is not paper and all that.

I apologize if I've missed any places I should have changed it, but I moved the article from its lower case "Duncan joseph mcinnes" to this name. I couldn't bear to see it in its weird lower-case state. Moncrief 09:50, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I'm inclined to say. Alabama Shakespeare Festival is notable, anyway. Charles Matthews 09:46, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yes, I think that it the Alabama Shakespeare Festival is notable; I'm not sure about McInnes. He is certainly not the director (there is no such person), and he is not among the six people with clear positions on the board: this page shows that he is one of forty-odd volunteers. Incidentally, of the two links now at the foot of the article, one is to the top page of the ASF and the other is (perhaps only temporarily) dead. -- Hoary 10:24, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Being one of forty volunteers at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival does not make him notable. Neither does being the Transportation Director of the Alabama Department of Transportation. Just under the bar of notability. DaveTheRed 18:59, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Concur with Dave, and delete. Radiant_* 11:53, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There are plenty of former corporate executives that do community service and work in management positions in state government institutions. Are they all notable? No. --Smithfarm
• Keep, I've cleaned the article up and changed the links. I don't think he's particularly notable, but I also don't think that "notability" is a particularly relevant criterion for a limitless encyclopedia project. --Dystopos 04:11, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable bureaucrat. Wikipedia is not limitless, as evidenced by VfD. RickK 08:17, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment, The project, if not the current hardare setup, is in fact, limitless. I cite the Numbers to which Wikipedia aspires section of Wikipedia:Size comparisons. VfD is an important effort, but should not concern itself with "notability" alone. How to judge McInnes' importance relative to Os Ultimos Herois, Menudo's first Portuguese album, for example? --Dystopos 16:18, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
