Talk:Wendy Spencer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I disagree that Wendy Spencer's page is a "vanity page." Wendy Spencer is a top government official for the state of Florida, and is an appointee of Predident George W. Bush to the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. All but six (or seven in Ms. Spencer's absence) of the 21 appointees to this council have similar Wikipedia pages, linked from the President's Volunteer Service Award and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation Wikipedia pages.

Ms. Spencer also operates on the national stage in disaster response and recovery policy through her role as Chief Executive Officer of Volunteer Florida, collaborating with: USA Freedom Corps, an office of the White House; The Corporation for National and Community Service; the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and other state governments nationwide.

Volunteer Florida is a Commission of the Executive Branch of Florida state government, and as such, it's CEO and its operations are of broad general interest.

I concur with Vandemans. By the virtue of being a presidential appointee, on a Council with numerous other celebrities, political figures, etc., the article is relevant and not, as the call for deletion states, for autobiographical or "vanity"-related ends. The article is not one put forward as self-aggrandizement, but instead gives fair, facutal information about a person referenced in other articles. misterfisher 16:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
