[edit] George Torbay

An anonymous user attempted to nominate this article for deletion; I'm completing the nomination. The subject is described as an Australian state legislator, but the one-sentence article contains minimal information, and the subject is apparently not currently in the legislature. Googling produces some information about a musical conductor of the same name but nothing about a politician by that name. Metropolitan90 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete no assertion of notability. Not referenced. Tyrenius 16:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unreferenced and nn. Also see the article's talk page. -- Kicking222 17:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• We have an article on Richard Torbay, an Independent member for Northern Tablelands in the Legislative Assembly. It seems from our Richard Torbay article that his full name is George Richard Torbay. His page on the NSW Legislative Assembly webpage confirms this as a fact see [1] As this is the case, the article should Redirect to Richard Torbay. Capitalistroadster 23:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non existant. I don't think that a redirect from George Torbay should go to Richard Torbay. It seems like a major difference to me. DarthVader 23:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect per Capitalistroadster. His page on the NSW Parliament website puts his name as Mr (Richard) George Richard TORBAY and confirms he is a current sitting member. We can be confident that the two people are the same. Richard seems to be his preferred name. Paddles 16:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 23:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy redirect The relationship has been identified and the person is apparently known by both names. If someone by this name comes up it would probably be best to use a dab statement. Also, redirecting keeps contribution history which is important to GFDL. Ansell Review my progress! 03:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect, we can always undo it later if we find there are two people with different names. Lankiveil 05:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC).
• Redirect. Per Capitalistroadster. Cnwb 23:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per CR, until such time as someone writes an article asserting notability for the conductor of music, in which case we should disambiguate the George name. Barno 01:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
