[edit] Joe Attard

Joe Attard (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Local politician. Unsourced article, contested speedy. Other articles mention that he's a leader of a non-notable band (unsourced) and that he competed in lawn bowls in the Commonwealth Games, but is that really enough to satisfy WP:BIO? --Finngall talk 15:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:BIO. Also, there are at least 3 other Joseph Attards on Malta. It would be very hard to source which is which.--Sethacus 15:49, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:BIO. Bravedog 17:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unsourced and per WP:BIO. Hello32020 18:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - A mayor of town of 11,000, definitly notable, not. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (tαlk) 20:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not Notable. Djmckee1 - Talk-Sign 21:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Representing Malta in bowls at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games would qualify him under WP:BIO as the Commonwealth Games is the highest representative level for that sport. However, it wasn't that Joe Attard [1] Being mayor may qualify him but I would want more information of having had a wider impact past his town. Capitalistroadster 01:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Don't think it is a town large enough for an individual article unless I'm wrong. (Was is the minimal population that would give the notability of a municipal mayor - I would have thinked about 25,000-50,000 +).--JForget 00:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
