Article provides too little information to be considered a bio, only cites a page of where he may be employed and a 1998 resume hosted at CNN. Grammarxxx (talk) 02:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. There are plenty of news and book references to Greenlee in his capacity as mayor and councilman of Boulder, his ownership of a radio station, his failed bid for Congress, and even somethings in association with JonBenet Ramsey; however, it appears that all of this brings him up to the line of notability but not over it. I find subjects like this difficult in that I'm not sure this passes the spirit of WP:GNG. I also tend to be quite tolerant of articles of former mayors, or mention of them in the various articles about cities and towns. Location (talk) 15:39, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge into an article on Greenlee Family Foundation. Without the expansion of the Greenlee Family Foundation section (which I just added a brief to the article in question), I would vote to delete this article. Bob Greenlee is more notable when he is the head of a Foundation. Expand of the Foundation info or redo the article based on the Foundation. Jrcrin001 (talk) 07:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep As the former mayor and longtime city council member of Boulder, Colorado, a college town of almost 100,000 residents, he meets WP:POLITICIAN which allows articles on "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". As Location points out, Greenlee has received that kind of coverage.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  04:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of coverage, even if what was in the article was a bit limited. A long time mayor of a fairly large city, a noteworthy Congressional candidate, and an owner/board member of some fairly large corporations seems like he meets notability.  I've added some sources since the existing page was a big sparse, but that was a problem with the writeup, not the subject PantsB (talk) 06:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
