[edit] Henry Beck

Henry Beck (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I saw that this page had been nominated for deletion but no discussion created. As already stated by another editor: "This is clearly a vanity bio by an over-confident college pol. There are thousands of local city councilors across the country who do not all deserve mention on Wikipedia. Delete." One mention each in his college paper and town's local paper do not establish notability. The creating user also added his own name to his college's and town's wiki entries.

You forgot to list it on AfD. I did it for you. Grandmasterka 06:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable as a local politician. YechielMan 14:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to Harry Beck who is far more likely what anyone searching on this is trying to find. City councillor is not WP:N; if he makes it to the House of Representatives it can be recreated (although in that case I'd keep this page as a disambig with his entry at Henry E.

  • Delete Obvious personal advertising without a legitimate claim to notoriety. AsadR
  • Keep This would normally not be noteworthy, however the success that this kid has had at such a young age is certainly wikipedia-worthy. (Cgascoig 09:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC))
  • Delete Not notable and probably self-promotional. Being on the city council in a rural area is his one achievement - and doing so during college is not unheard of and definitely not wiki-worthy. Dyergin
