[edit] Bob Hernandez

Bob Hernandez (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Putting this up for debate. Councilman and candidate for forthcoming Anaheim City Council elections. I find 43 unique Ghits. He has gotten quotes in some news articles, including the LA Times and the Wahington Post, but these are only trivial mentions. Ohconfucius 05:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails WP:V. Until a paper record exists he is non-notable. After that, still unlikely. --Dhartung | Talk 06:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 08:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable and vanity. Spinach Dip 09:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The nominator's Google results do not accurately portray the notability of the subject. The search was for "Bob Hernandez" firefighter, while if you replace firefighter with Anaheim it turns out over 500 hits. In particular, notability is demonstrated with an internationally covered incident between Councilmember Hernandez and a Muslim candidate for his office. This event was covered by the LA Times, and through the Associated Press to big media outlets like ABCnews and the Guardian Unlimited among others. Wikipedia:Notability (people) lists "major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage" as criteria for inclusion. --Howrealisreal 16:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Kudos to Howrealisreal for digging up the info, but this still fails WP:BIO. Eusebeus 17:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Well I do what I can. This article is a poor specimen, so it can go and I wont feel bad. I still feel the subject is somewhat notable, but that's a different story. Wikipedia:Notability (people) is so ambiguous and subjectively applied, I don't see how it matters. --Howrealisreal 02:01, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unverifable and unnotable. Hello32020 22:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per above (i.e., Wikipedia:Notability (people) lists "major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage" as criteria for inclusion)--Sholom 17:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Anaheim is a pretty big city with over 300,000 people, not to mention the location of the extremely notable Disneyland. An elected city council person there is notable. --Oakshade 03:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Uh oh. After I made that vote, I added a ref to the article which is the Anehim City Council website profile on the subject and realize now it's actually the same text as the article word for word.[1] *sigh* Obviously a complete re-write is needed to avoid possible copywrite issues. Well, I still think this person is notable for the above reasons. If deletion will happen, I request not to salt so it can be re-written without cut & pasting from another website. --Oakshade 03:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: City councilmen are generally not notable. --Wizardman 16:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
