[edit] Jim Daley (politician)

Jim Daley (politician) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Subject's only claim to notability is being Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley's brother. He's also a mayor of a Chicagoland suburb himself...and I've just restated the entire article. Speedy was declined. --Finngall ^talk 15:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Suburban mayors are not inherently notable, and the reference to Richard M. Daley is inaccurate. All of Richard M. Daley's siblings are listed at Richard J. Daley#Early career and none of them are named Jim. In fact, Jim Daley of Homer Glen claims to be Richard M. Daley's third cousin, not his brother. [1] --Metropolitan90 16:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete scope of notability is so small in this case that I dont think it warrants inclusion into WP Corpx 17:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, at least not yet. He's not really a son of Dick Daley or brother of Richard Daley, and he's been mayor of Homer Glen for only 3 months. He's appropriately mentioned in the Homer Glen article. --orlady 18:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, falls far below normal WP:BIO requirements. Relation to Chicago Daleys would not meet notability standards even if it were significant. --Dhartung | Talk 19:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Richard M.Daley as content is very limited.--JForget 23:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment He's the man's third cousin. That tenuous blood connection is not significant enough to merit mention there. --Dhartung | Talk 12:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per the nomination, does not meet the WP:BIO requirements. Burntsauce 18:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, he is the mayor.... Mathmo ^Talk 22:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

....which all by itself is insufficient under the criteria for politicians under WP:BIO. --Finngall ^talk 00:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
