[edit] Robert "Bobby" Freeman

subject is not notable BlackJack | ^{talk page} 18:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

He is notable because he was a two-term lieutenant governor of his state, a member of the state legislature, and a city judge. He was an important political player in LA in the 1980s. Billy Hathorn 18:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)Billy HathornBilly Hathorn 18:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

So he was an American lawyer who dabbled in politics. How does that make him notable, especially in world terms? --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 18:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Serving in a state legislature alone makes one notable to be included in Wikipedia. He was in the legislature for 12 years. He was in Who's Who in America, 1984.

Okay, you've convinced me. I'll withdraw the nomination. I suggest in future you make sure a new article meets wiki standards upfront and quotes several sources. Nothing personal: I'm actually helping you out here. Regards. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 19:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
