365:- I have no idea why it is claimed that we have room for 430 articles about 430 separate Pokemon characters, as well as the entire cast of characters from video games and animated cartoons, and obscure hip-hop and rap performers who just self-published their first CDs, but we don't have room for articles about notable real people. Like other articles about local notables who are unheard of outside of their native counties, there may be too much detail; but that's a content issue, not a "keep or delete" issue. This is an article about a Democrat. I am a Republican, and I'm saying, "Strong keep."
353:. Obviously a solid local worthy, but not notable enough for Knowledge (XXG). Note that this opinion has nothing to do with a Google search, which I agree is not a good way to determine notability, but is based on the fact that he never held any sort of official post even in the small community in which he lived. Small-time local businessmen and chairmen of local political parties, chambers of commerce and rotary clubs are simply not notable enough for Knowledge (XXG). --
197:
local political figures are often notable, but the people who write the articles do not know how to position them in terms of general politics. The significance of this one is probably his role in the changing political climate of his area, and more can & should be said. What the article warrants
158:
This person who had a big influence in U.S. history sounds far more notable than the least notable of the 490 Pokemon characters or the random 1/3 mile of state highway, both of which seem to fully satisfy
Knowledge (XXG)'s notability criteria. A genuine human being who had an amazing influence on

Paul Harris Fellow is the MAJOR award for Rotary, not "some Rotary award". There is considerable criteria one must meet to win a Paul Harris designation. He is not on
Knowledge (XXG), however, only because he was a Paul Harris Fellow. His is a unique story. Mr. Bass was in business, journalism,
124:
Well-written article, but is essentially just an obituary. None of his achievements seem very notable (started, or perhaps just ran for a while, a local newspaper, was chair of local branch of
Democratic Party, and won some Rotarian award).

church, and local politics. I thought it was a good idea to include some people from the
Panhandle for Knowledge (XXG). It is a large, thinly populated area, and most people selected from there would be unknown except in the local community.
444:
It should be deleted. It was not spared, it was never submitted for deletion because you did not complete the AfD submission process. I've deleted it myself because I feel it fits the speedy deletion criteria.
183:
What was this "big influence on U.S. history" and "amazing influence on human events"? Publishing a local newspaper and being a local political figure is not a "big influence" on
American history.

not everybody who is notable is on Google, nor is everybody notable who is. Sometimes some people should bother to get away from their computers and into a library

I recommended the following article for deletion, but apparently it has been spared. How is this article superior to the one on Harvey Bass, may I ask?
