[edit] Lewis Holden (political activist)

Lewis Holden (political activist) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I don't think Lewis is quite notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, he may be known among the blogger community in New Zealand, largely as a result of his blog and the Republican Movement. Yet there's nothing in this article that indicates that he's actually notable by wikipedia biographical standards Brian | (Talk) 02:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this article should deleted. Same views as above. - Shudda talk 02:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

  • delete, but only because it lacks WP:CITE and hence, for me, WP:V. (I don't go out of the way to look for sources). Otherwise, his achievements seem important. --CyclePat 05:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I suspect that this is a tough subject for which to establish notability. It seems that quotations from blogs are not considered credible evidence at WP. However, if someone is "attracting notice" from a significant number of bloggers, then the subject meets the criteria for inclusion: "Notable here means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice", not "important" or "famous". It is not synonymous with fame or importance. It is not measured by Wikipedia editors' own subjective judgements. It is not "newsworthiness". This is the second paragraph of Wikipedia:Notability.

  • Delete unless properly sourced and referenced by end of this AfD. Wikipedia is not a listing of famous people or concepts but a reference Alf photoman 17:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
