[edit] Kevin Gaines (police)

Kevin Gaines (police) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested A7 speedy candidate with assertions to notability present. Procedural nomination. No opinion, yet. Kchase T 11:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - the subject's claim to notability is that he was shot by another police officer, but the references (one rather POV news report) aren't sufficient to demonstrate that this was a high-profile killing. Delete unless more sources can be found about this murder. Walton monarchist89 12:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, all necessary info is in Russell Poole. --Dhartung | Talk 22:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, in 1991 a USMC colonel was murdered for threatening to publicize that the US Gov't was shipping cocaine into Orange County, CA. This is a step toward documenting the retail-level distribution, instead of the shipments (by Southern Air Transport, etc.) that Colonel Sabow was murdered to conceal.

  • Assuming any of that is true, how does it show that Kevin Gaines is notable under WP:BIO?--Kchase T 13:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Mr. Gaines has multiple published sources addressing his life and death. The inclusion of the reference to Col. Sabow was to place the alleged criminal associations of Kevin Gaines in context, particularly as they related to cocaine smuggling and distribution. JPatrickBedell 13:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
