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 was summary deletion per Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff#Summary deletion of BLPs.

Expanded justification: the arbitration committee decided that Any administrator, acting on their own judgment, may delete an article that is substantially a biography of a living person if they believe that it (and every previous version of it) significantly violates any aspect of the relevant policy. The specific aspect of WP:BLP violated is simply the directive that they must strictly adhere to the neutral point of view policy. This is not an issue about sourcing; I could see no prima facie problem with the sources.

Short justification: It's a hatchet job.

Non-notable person. Fails WP:BLP1E, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Corvus cornixtalk 22:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as a person only notable for one event. Bfigura (talk) 23:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable as chief of a large police force, and would have been notable even without the circumstances that led to his resignation. --Eastmain (talk) 23:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I'm not sure that being the Chief Constable of the Cambridgeshire police is inherently notable. The sources added don't seem to mention him in more than a trivial way. (Each of the recently added articles references him in at most one or two sentences.) I still think this is a case of WP:BLP1E. --Bfigura (talk) 00:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
