- Strong Delete. Vanity bio. Keb25 15:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't meet WP:BIO requirements, any mentions are very local and small-scale. Accounting4Taste 15:40, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I think this community figure might just have enough to meet the requirments. The work is impressive and for a decade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk) 18:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- No matter what good causes this person has supported, to have a Wikipedia entry he must meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). He doesn't. Hut 8.5 19:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
This is a truly creative person who stands for community and giving back to the people. Although we understand Wikipedia rules, sometimes there is a talent that should be supported. More people should do as much for these types of causes, which is bigger than all of us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanson102 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC) Look at the work and think about how many people have been helped through it. This person has not only supported his community but uses sports and the arts to push positivity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanson102 (talk • contribs)
- I have lived in the Westchester county area for more then twenty years. I have followed Mr Eways career, there has never been a person who has brought a flair to the community as he has. Who knows what history will say about his work but it can not be denied that it is good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk • contribs)
DO NOT DELETE. Mr Eways has a large following in Port Chester. He has brought energy and inspiration to the Port Chester Village. Eways is not hollywood or political. He is a true role model.

DO NOT DELETE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk • contribs) Eways has become a local star in Port Chester over the last few years. Although at times he can be an enigma. When he is creating events and programs for the community he stands alone in a class by himself, Group of 75.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk • contribs) I have never met Ed Eways but I have attended some of his events in the 90's. I still read about him in the papers and see him on tv. I remember when I first saw Eways at one of his events I thoughthere is a young brash guy who is more of a show then a role model. The more I learned about Eways over the years I noticed he had such a desire to make a difference. I saw a fire in his eye's that is hard to explain. It was this non stop machine that would not quit. There are few people that have this kind of drive. There have been many talks about certain talents that has come out of our community, Eways has been brought up many times within are group and other community groups. He stands the test of time and should have his place in history Group 75 also joined with City Club of Westchester. I never went to any of Eways events but I have been a fan of his work. I did see him speak at a youth show in 2000. I felt here is someone that will make some noise, did he ever. Group 75 proud to be at 87 members. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk) 22:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - A phrase search on this person's name in Google has only 7 hits, two from Wikipedia. The article lacks references to independent, reliable sources. - Jehochman Talk 23:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The sources fall short and into the "trivial" category in my opinion. Burntsauce 23:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
DO NOT DELETE The sources do not fall short. This man they call Eways has inspired a generation of youth in the Port Chester community Group 75. I heard about Ed Eways and his works for years in Port Chester and Rye Brook. Athough in the 90's it was the Eways era. Now I would say it is the post Eways era. Not as active as he once was,still brings alot of style and a powerful presence in Port Chester. He has done amazing work for organizations and the youth. Eways is a notable person Generation x 101 we are at 44 members. Look we are on all these different computers talking about Ed Eways. That has to tell you something about this guy. What it tells me is that he has left a mark on us and a town. I know Eways started in NYC as a model and improve guy. Came back to his home town and began creating programs for the school district. At 21 this guy wins a Westchester County Youth award. Then gets two community service awards. I think he is the only one to get two not sure. Anyway Eways is a figure and his name and legacy has grown to symbol status. Larger then life type person in his town. I will make this statement I am not going to say I am a big Ed Eways fan. I have approached him in the past at some of his events and tried to get an interveiw. He always seemed to busy. With that said I am very impressed with what this guy has done since 1994 till now. Very gifted and has a real passion to make a positive impact on his town. I would say he needs to be on here Do not Delete Mpod newsletter serving Westchester.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.79.227 (talk) 19:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
