The discussion of deleting this page should be broadened to include the more than 50 existing articles on current and former Chicago Aldermen.


 * : No one likes politicians so perhaps we should delete all the members of congress and the mayors of major cities. Also, delete all those historical figures who were Chicago aldermen and politicians. If some Chicago aldermen are kept (but God knows that we should not honor these heathen, corrupt beasts), someone should format the aldermen's names, because we all know that if one is an elected official, one is a politician.


 * : Wikipedia should delete this and any living or dead politicians' entries because we know that they (the politicians) all are evil in their heart of hearts (except George W. Bush, Duncan Hunter, and Richard Cheney, who believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and who wish to smit the infidel). And who cares if Johnson passed Civil and Voting Rights legislation? Or Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to aid those who suffered during the Depression? We know that all Democrats are Socialists who wish to make our country secular.

The Chicago City Council is so seriously dysfunctional that a strong case could be made that ALL the articles in the entire category should be deleted. The single most important duty of a Chicago alderman is their vote in City Council. The voting records of all Chicago Alderman are virtually identical. Most Council votes are unanimous. The record gives us no principled method of distinguishing notable from non-notable aldermen. Chicago Alderman are notable precisely for their individual lack of notability. It is of interest to wikipedia readers interested in politics and history and urban affairs that the legislative branch of one of the world's great cities is populated entirely by non-notable rubber-stamp career politicians.


 * : I have seen biographies of professors who are not well known to the common person. Perhaps all biographies should be eliminated and then we can restore those that are notable.

On the other had this category contains significant work from contributors.Hugh 19:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
