Talk:Gary Richardson (lawyer)

OK, this is a good beginning
OK--what do you think? This is my very FIRST contribution to the WikiProject Oklahoma. Hope it meets Wiki standards. By the way, if this guy DOES try and run for Governor of Oklahoma again (this year, 2006), I will note that in the article. User:ProfessorPaul 23:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I took so long
OK--good people, I found out Richardson will not be running. I noted that in the article and cited the source (he did not file). Maybe he will enjoy sitting this one out! User:ProfessorPaul 01:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment from random citizen
It's articles like this that bog down Wikipedia with useless facts. Just because he ran for governor and is an attorney does not make him a person of interest. Gary Richardson has is own biography on his firm's site, along with a resume on another site. I feel that this article is simple self-promotion or soapbox reading.

Refer to BLP1E: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP1E#Articles_about_people_notable_only_for_one_event "Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry. Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them."
