DA of a large metropolitan county such people might be notable, but not necessarily. It depends on wether they've done anything that;'s more than routine.Usually they have not, but it is possible nonetheless to fill a long article with all the trivia, and have it referenced, for most people in such an office make sure they are mentioned in every news story on every criminal case in the country. This article is an example: not one of the cases mentioned is important, yet all of them have received passing coverage from local news sources. The net result is a promotional campaign biography for the next election. I assume that peopele in such position will acquire some negative comment also, bt it ; but nothing of the kind is mentioned here. not mentioned here. Would need complete rewriting, and even so, it would still fair notability.  DGG ( talk ) 08:53, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:BIO &  WP:GNG don't fail, and it contains many references, although the sources continues to be dim.   Rinfoli   { *Di§cu$ with me"# } 18:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete The subject does not clearly pass WP:POLITICIAN although as points out, it is possible that such an office holder could be notable. The massive problem here is that the article has a distinctively promotional tone, violates WP:NPOV, and reads like campaign literature masquerading as an encyclopedia article. This article was written by a single purpose account who came here to write this puff piece and then disappeared. If some energetic, neutral editor whacks away at this hagiography with a machete, I will reconsider.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  03:56, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
