Talk:Charles Macbeth

Proposed deletion January 2014
Macbeth was an important figure in Charleston. He was the final popularly elected mayor before the most significant moment in the City's history when it was evacuated during the Civil War. Moreover, he saved the city from being burned to spite the occupiers. This article is just a start, but there is more to say about the guy. I don't object to labeling it a stub, but any decision to delete needs to give an article at least a few months to develop. Suggestions for deletion shouldn't be hasty. In this case, the article had only been generated a few hours earlier.
 * If the topic of an article doesn't meet notability guidelines, there's no requirement to "wait and see". It can be proposed for deletion right away. According to WP:NPOL local politicians (which includes mayors) are not inherently notable, but they can be notable for other reasons. I didn't see anything by doing a quick search that indicated that this person would meet the general notability guideline so I flagged it for deletion. I'm not sure that being mayor during a pivotal moment in the city's history confers notability on the mayor at the time, but it seems to have significant coverage so I don't think any more deletion talk is warranted. I'm going to add some tags to attract more editors who might be familiar with this subject area. Ivanvector (talk) 15:13, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Virginia?
Was this supposed to be South Carolina? He might have some Virginia ties, so I don't want to switch the banners, but I'm not aware of them.
 * Oops! Yes, that was definitely a mistake on my part. I will fix it. You're kind to ask but you could have done this yourself, see WP:BOLD. Also, please remember to sign your comments in talk pages by adding " ~ " after your comment (without the quotes). Ivanvector (talk) 14:46, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, I got the state wrong twice. Stunning. Sorry about that. Ivanvector (talk) 21:39, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
