The result was Delete. Does not pass the PROF or political guidelines; no reasons given as why this person is an unusual case. As pointed out, he was the second of two candidates, so he was the only outlet for dissent.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Titus North

Titus North (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:BIO and WP:PROF. I bet he sings very nice karoke, I bet he's great at karate, but that doesn't make him notable. Extreme delete GreenJoe 04:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

  • delete Adjunct prof fails WP:PROF: 4% of votes for mayor in 2005, 9.9% of votes (2nd of 2 candidates) in 2006 US House of Reps race, NS failed candidate. Support merge of appropriate info to specific articles on elections, if such exist. Pete.Hurd 19:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Front-running third party candidate in two significant elections. --killing sparrows (chirp!) 17:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • PS, disparaging remarks like the karaoke/karate one above are rather childish for this forum.--killing sparrows (chirp!) 17:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    • To be honest, I made a mistake. I had misread karate as karaoke. GreenJoe 17:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, it looks like this person, known as "Christopher Titus North", but I can only see two or three scholarly works under that name. John Vandenberg 16:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral (leaning delete): not notable by WP:PROF, but could almost be for general biography by coverage in independent sources. Here is one source at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette which covers his candidacy well beyond "trivial mention." But I think this is still one source short of multiple independent sources. (btw--I don't think anyone would assert that his karate instruction makes him notable; but not everything in an article has to be a declaration of notability as long as something is). -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 20:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
