[edit] Manuel Flores

This ultra-sub-stub reads "Manuel Flores is an Alderman for the 1st Ward in the City of Chicago."; end of article. As fellow Wikipedian R. fiend points out, there are dozens and dozens more sub-stubs just like this one under [[Category:Chicago Alderman]], with more on the way (currently red-linked). Manuel Flores turns up 274 hits on google. [1] Does merely being an Alderman make one "notable enough" for inclusion on Wikipedia? If so, why? GRider\^talk 19:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral. Personally, I don't think politicians at this level are notable. However, I believe quite a few have survived VFD (mostly from Canada, if I remember correctly). I would really like to see VFD become more consistent, and less fickle. (and for goodness sake, kill the redlinks until the issue is decided.) Niteowlneils 19:14, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Consistency is good. There are several related discussions at the other Chicago aldermen VfD entries. I believe consensus tends towards the view that elected politicians are only in and of themselves notable if elected at a national level. Delete Radiant! 12:26, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

• As with others: I think probably notable, but these tiny non-articles are useless. -- Jmabel | Talk
• Merge These should all be merged on to one Chicago Alderman page — Linnwood 07:20, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Make one page with all the aldermen, as Linnwood suggested. Carrp | Talk 07:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
