[edit] Katherine Grubb

Katherine Grubb (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable local politician. No significant coverage outside her home district. NewsLibrary has few references at all. Local politicians are not considered notable merely by holding local office. DarkAudit 19:19, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

True... although those same criteria also state that those worthy of inclusion are "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" and people who have "been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." Ample press coverage is available via more localized outlets. Cpteggyolk 03:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

It may be available, but what I've found to this point is trivial. Most articles I've found via Google that mention this Katherine Grubb only do so in passing. DarkAudit 04:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

It also bears noting that the borough Ms. Grubb represents has a population of only ~6,700 people. If the coverage is still only local, that's quite far from bring a notable politician. I must also note that local politicians of municipalities many times larger will rarely pass the notability guidelines of WP:BIO. DarkAudit 04:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless futher sources can be found. No real press coverage- local papers don't really count for much in that respect. J Milburn 08:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to lack of major reliable sources to establish notability. Local politicians are not notable by virtue of that only. Stifle (talk) 13:32, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to notability concerns. --Kyoko 13:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
