Not notable. Listed only for his involvement in an unremarkable criminal case. Not only is Wikipedia not a newspaper, it is especially not a ten-year-old newspaper! Dybryd 04:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Wikipedia is not a ten-year-old newspaper, but rather a timeless electronic encyclopedia which aims to provide the complete sum of human knowledge. This is the type of information that researchers will turn to us to learn more about for various case studies. Burntsauce 17:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep: Was very notable at the time, and it has plenty of sources from a reliable CBC news. - Rjd0060 17:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Notability is not temporary. If the person was notable at one time, the person is notable for all time. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 17:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Yeah???? Notice my "keep" 'vote' (or whatever you call it) for that reason. - Rjd0060 18:07, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable and well-sourced-enough per WP:BLP. Bearian 17:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the above. There is no expiration date on notability - else, Chester A. Arthur would be screwed. Best, ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 17:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
