Burton Bagby

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This subject fails WP:GNG despite the sheer number of sources that apparently support the article: there's almost no significant coverage (i.e., he gets passing mention), and the best in-depth coverage comes from OutSmart, which is not independent of the subject. Campaign managers certainly don't (usually) gain notability through their candidates, let alone to the degree required under WP:POLITICIAN. Most of all, the heap of local (not quite "multiple sourced"), largely in-passing coverage of this subject as a spokesperson/board member doesn't inure to this subject's individual notability. I haven't been able to find much better results after research, and I can't make out any particular claim to this person's notability. JFHJr (㊟) 00:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

 * reluctant delete - much as I admire Brother Burton, and am in awe of his odyssey, I just don't see the evidence of the requisite level of notability. If he were to be elected to office himself, that would be another matter entirely. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  22:21, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I think this guy's done some great things in his life. It's just WP:TOOSOON in this case. When it's time, we'll have lots to restore. In the meantime, here's to Texan voters. JFHJr (㊟) 00:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure -- Certainly NN as politician; probably as a minister. However, I wonder whether the Hammer award (now linked) is evidence of notability, possibly also his postions on various boards.  I am singularly unimpressed by the quality of the citations.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:46, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't believe recipients of the Hammer award would be inherently notable, and nothing else in the article hints at notability. StAnselm (talk) 00:28, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
