Bruce Barclay (Commissioner)

The BLP violates WP:1E. The subject is solely notable for one event. Two years later, his trial is only being reported in the local press. He is not an admirable person but that does not make him notable.  Will Beback   talk    06:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep per WP:BARE - most local politicans are not notable per WP:POLITICIAN, but he was commisioner of a county with a population of over 200,000 residents. Bearian (talk) 22:17, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A city or county official with one scandal is a classic definition of a 1E. Size doesn't matter when trying to find an exception to WP:POLITICIAN, (hmmm, given what he's charged with I should probably rephrase that...) Unless there's anything else he did that was noteworthy, I can't see this article surviving. And I'm sorry, but while changing the property assessment schedule might be a landmark political coup in Cumberland County, it isn't that noteworthy to the global Wikipedia userbase. -- RoninBK T C 06:25, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability really isn't there. 200k is not a lot of people, well below the 100 largest counties in the country. Ray  Talk 16:24, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
