[edit] Wayne L. Rubinas

Wayne L. Rubinas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. Former mayor of Ocala, Florida (pop. 50,000), now adjunct lecturer at Florida State University. No clear evidence of enough coverage for notability for local politicians per WP:BIO, or evidence of passing the WP:PROF test. Rigadoun (talk) 06:52, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Former small-town politician, former political consultant, minorly disgraced lawyer, very minor academic, university "circle of gold" award most likely meaning that he gave money to the university. None of these things adds up to notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As per David Eppstein. --Crusio (talk) 21:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete David Eppstein's said it all. Pete.Hurd (talk) 06:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep based on mayoralty. I agree that his professorship is, as far as this article discloses, nonnotable. JamesMLane t c 10:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • comment I note that WP:N says "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are notable, but "Just being an elected local official [...] does not guarantee notability". and Wikipedia:OUTCOMES#People says "Mayors of major cities have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors". Pete.Hurd (talk) 18:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
