[edit] Tim Perkins

This article is a local politican with no apparent claim to notability that would satisfy WP:BIO or the proposed candidates and elections criteria. The party switch information is the most likely basis for a claim of notability, but a quick glance at the first results for "'Tim Perkins' quit" on Google yielded no related results. The op-ed linked in the article itself appears to be a statement by Perkins himself. Erechtheus 23:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The op-ed article is from the "Manchester Evening News," and one citation by a local news network is hardly enough to considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article, even beyond the fact that it appears to be one of his own op-ed works. --Thorne N. Melcher 23:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Only of local interest; a search of newspaper databases finds two refs, both from the Manchester Evening News.--Runcorn 16:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
