[edit] Linton Johnson (BART)
Being a spokesperson for a transportation utility is not notability. Corvus cornix 17:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect relevant info/sources to Bay Area Rapid Transit. ~Eliz81(C) 18:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Non-notable person, but use the opportunity to Redirect to Lyndon B. Johnson. Some people aren't sure how to spell the 36th president's first name. Mandsford 23:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. This simply is not notable and I feel it would be too contentious to make it a redirect to Lyndon B. Johnson, the misspelling is not plausible, and thus would itself qualify for speedy deletion as an implausible redirect. Burntsauce 23:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete And I agree with Burtsauce (Or is it Starblind? Or Endless Dan? :) It would not be a good redirect. Not plausable misspelling. i said 00:16, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Possible keep I saw this quote in a website for a newspaper " transition to one of the highest-profile positions at the Bay Area's largest public transit provider ..." So if the position is high profile and notable, then the person holding it is potentially notable.Internet Response Office of the Republic of One (population 1) 17:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- But there needs to be reliable sources to write a biography from. Corvus cornix 17:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
