[edit] Mike McCue

Not notable, probably vanity. Google search Remy B 18:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, per nom. -Andrew 18:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. This google link which searches for michael mccue as well as mike shows some more results, but is it notable enough? Does Wikipedia have an article about the youngest person elected in US history, doesn't appear so. Delete as not quite notable enough. -Andrew 15:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. My attempt to clean it up a bit edit conflicted with this nomination. The information is verifiable, if not notable. No vote. JPD (talk) 18:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the cleanup, the reference definitely helps with determining the notability of the person. As for me, I think it definitely shows the person is not nearly notable enough to warrant an article. Remy B 19:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It wouldn't be notable except at the subject's age, this is very impressive. At least here in America. 24.41.12.37 02:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)


Mike McCue (1986? - ) is an elected member of the Finance Committee in Freetown, Massachusetts.

  • No Vote/Comment. I've been watching this since yesterday half-amused, half-surprised, and finding it altogether bizarre. I'm going to refrain from voting, and please by no means think I'd be the least bit offended if it gets deleted; but as far as it being a vanity article, I wouldn't have had to guess at my own year of birth... (it is 1986, tho, if anyone was remotely curious. I haven't fixed it because I don't think it would be right for me to edit the article). Sahasrahla 20:10, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Just out of curiosity, how did you know there was an article about yourself? Remy B 05:53, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
      • A friend of mine had told me about it, and I've now begun to suspect he was the one who created it. Therefore, I apologize to everyone that this has happened. Please do not misinterpret these actions as me thinking that I'm a noteworthy subject. Sahasrahla 06:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Non-notable, though being elected so young is interesting. If he was confirmed as the youngest elected american I'd feel differently because 'youngest ever' is much more notable than 'one of the youngest'. GhostGirl 13:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete In addition to being non-notable, this person has attempted to rewrite history erroneously in a few other articles (The Tonight Show, Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen, Jack Paar), and has been cited by other users for miscellaneous other infractions. I really wonder if sock puppetry isn't at work here in the original creation of the article. Telestylo 21:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Taking over one's father position on a minor town council does NOT make this person notable.

Writing "Joy to the World" at age 16 IS notable. There is a difference.Ryoung122 01:30, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete. As I said before, I didn't write this, and I don't believe the subject to be notable any more than anybody else does.
  • Delete per above arguments. Dottore So 10:15, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
