[edit] Tim Crutchfield

Submitted on behalf of Sandy who was not sure of the procedure. The concern is a possible lack of notability (the guy is only a city councillor) and none of the many statements are directly sourced despite several requests to the author. OTOH he does seem to have some colourful episodes and has risen above health problems. I am neutral on this. TerriersFan 22:11, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Thanks, TerriersFan. This article came to my attention several months ago via a wikilink to Tourette syndrome. I have been prompting the unsigned author of this article to reference it with primary sources and establish notability since April 28 (see Talk:Tim Crutchfield). It is not clear to me that notability is established for this local politician, the article has not been referenced, and I've had to constantly edit out unsourced, inappropriate references to his personal life (e.g.; ex-wife and marital issues).

  • Delete Holy vanity article, Batman. Weird, minor details from life of small town councilman. JChap 22:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, author's only article, not notable in the least. HumbleGod 22:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:VAIN. Pascal.Tesson 23:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Most of the references aren't releveant, BTW. -- Mikeblas 23:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Comment that's not quite true. I think "limited relevance" would be a more fair description. But some have questionnable independence (such as the autobiography) and the others have limited credibility being local papers. Pascal.Tesson 23:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete vain vanity in vain. Danny Lilithborne 23:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete He may have overcome a lot, but in the end a city councilman is just not notable enough for an encyclopedia entry. --DarkAudit 00:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:BIO, vanity.--John Lake 01:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it. If he were a liberal, then it wouldn't be considered for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.82.241.170 (talk • contribs)
    • Talk about a non sequiter. Read WP:BIO. JChap 02:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment riiiiiiight. Only liberals would cite WP:VAIN or WP:BIO as reasons for deletion... Pascal.Tesson 02:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete take your pick: now I've been called a liberal :-) Checking the contribs of anon, Marshall Keeble is a new article, not sure it's notable. Maybe I'm a racist liberal now. Sandy 02:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I have made numerous monetary donations to this site. Since you want to yank the article I wrote in honor of this man, I am seriously considering ceasing any further donations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.245.12.233 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 5 July 2006
Comment if you expect that donating to Wikipedia gives you any sort of control over its content then stop donating. Pascal.Tesson 17:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete city council members, liberal, conservative, communist or martian, aren't notable enough for an encyclopedia. Okay, maybe martians...but not regular old humans. -- Scientizzle 00:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Go figure. Somebody does something good for a town, like help to get the sex offender's list started there and this is the thanks he gets. I guess we see whose side Wikipedia is on. Ianpage 15:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Contribs of above signed editor show a potential AfD non-notable, David Parnell, originally created by User talk:Tlmcrutch. User 64.82.216.246, are you Tim Crutch? Sandy 14:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

No. I am a constituent, however, and a fellow employee where he has his contract. This computer has public access as a sample demo to sell our internet services. It can be used by anyone. I know the man personally, and even I think he should be given credit for what he has done.Ianpage 15:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you can put up a website or blog about him. Notability must be established per WP:BIO for inclusion in Wikipedia. Sandy 15:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

That wouldn't give him the credit he deserves. Wikipedia has more access. It irritates me to no end the criticism this man has gone through, but he never seems to get credit for what he has done for us. His notability has been more than established, especially here in Dexter, Missouri. Ianpage 15:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
