Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lee Clancey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The relevant part of WP:BIO accords notability to "Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures.". There is no evidence that Clancey has met this requirement, the article contains no independent notability (being the first female mayor is insufficient), and there was a clear consensus that her page should be deleted.

[edit] Lee Clancey

Notability says, "Just being an elected local official does not guarantee notability." The article provides no sources and no claims that she was anything but a local elected official. Nyttend 21:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete for lack of notability, and DELETE all the other articles created for the other mayors and former mayors of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It looks like the people working on the Cedar Rapids article are looking for ways to satisfy a "What links here" search on their town's article. Their town's article is notable and well organized enough without the need for the mayor articles. Keep the town article but lose the mayors' articles. OfficeGirl 15:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete with no prejudice against re-creation with proper sourcing. Eleland 16:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per narrow scope of notability. I dont think an encyclopedia is the place to list small town mayors. Corpx 04:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
