[edit] Marcel Vezina

A local politician with no significant news coverage thereby failing the standard set by WP:BIO. Was prodded but the tag was removed. Indrian (talk) 22:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

No significant news coverage??? well how about "the internet was not fully expanded", when he was in power. Furthermore, abundance of articles exist on microfiche about Marcel Vezina, Journal de Montreal, Nouvelliste, Journal De Quebec, Lapresse, but not on the net. I contacted a newspaper person in TRois Rivieres, and was told that any circulation news prior 5-6yrs ago, is not posted on the net anymore but relinquished to the microfiche.

Furthermore, the city of Shawingan -Sud, has merged other local cities in 2001., hence all websites maintained by the city of Shawinigan-sud, (which would provide many sources) have been put down and/or removed from the web. This doe not automatically dismiss

I'm not sure how to "link" paper article/microfiche to this wiki page!!!??? Can anyone please help? I'm fairly new at this Wiki posting. Wikimike123 (talk) 08:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Yeah, but what kind of news coverage was it? Any mayor is going to be mentioned in the local paper because he is in charge of the town. Did he get national news coverage for doing something particularly innovative or something particualrly rotten? Indrian (talk) 15:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• delete a personal page, no sources Logastellus (talk) 19:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

again instead of disputing that there is no sources (because its not on the net), how do you bring to the net any national article that are on microfiche but not on the net?? There was many regional and national newspaper article that covered his exploits.Wikimike123 (talk) 8:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:OUTCOMES, mayors of major cities are usually kept on Wikipedia, but mayors of smaller cities and towns are kept only if additional notability can be shown beyond the fact that they served as a mayor. Shawinigan-Sud, which had a population of just 11,804 in 1996 according to the article on Shawinigan, falls within the latter category. Delete unless additional notability can be shown.

• COMMENTto the author: I have cleaned up the article (cosmetically). The subject still needs to have notability. Find references (in English...this is the Englsih Wiki) and third-party citations of notability and I will find a suitable place to put it.--Sallicio 12:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete with encouraging note at Wikimike's talk. Franamax (talk) 08:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete No notability established. Being former mayor of a small town is not enough. --L. Pistachio (talk) 17:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
