Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Reynolds

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 of the debate was given the consensus that this article should not exist on its own (but not quite enough for outright deletion), redirected to National Youth Rights Association. Nothing to merge that I can see, as biographical information doesn't belong in the organisation's article and "Reynolds has worked with local politicians to lower the voting age" is a bit, well, obvious when put in that context. The history is still there if anyone disagrees. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 12:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Reynolds

• Delete Does not appear to be notable. None of this first page of google hits are for this individual. Google news searches for "robert reynolds" and "robert reynolds youth" return no result. Only sources cited in article are the organization's self-created website. Seems like vanity. Wikipedia is not a repository for every student leader or self-proclaimed "activist" Captaintruth 12:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A Google search for the combination of "Robert Reynolds" and "youth rights" turned up 2260 matches, and I found a case of mainstream coverage here. Dsreyn 17:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

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

Comment. A source Three sources (articles from Newsweek, San Francisco Chronicle, and Boston Globe) have been added. Dsreyn 19:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Mentions in three two year old news articles (only one about him, the other two just quoting his comments) do not establish notability. Captaintruth 20:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I believe User:Eluchil404 asked for notable and reliable sources, so I provided a few. I assumed this was essentially an objection to an unsourced / unverified article, rather than a request for hundreds of Google hits, and three references seemed sufficient to establish a factual basis for the article. You thought a school board member in Florida (Robert D. Parks) was significant enough to be worthy of an entry (which you created, and has no other contributors), yet someone with legitimate press coverage is not? Looks like you are applying the notability guidelines rather selectively. Dsreyn 01:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with main NYRA article. --Folksong 22:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
