Charles Ecker
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

American county-level politician who fails WP:NPOL and has no other claim to notability. Previous AfD four years ago closed as no consensus and featured numerous flawed arguments. AusLondonder (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NPOL and still in my mind fails WP:GNG due to the very local element of the coverage. SportingFlyer  T · C  15:50, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * delete As someone from the area, he was someone who was CE when things just went along without notable events. Pretty much just a name on a list. Mangoe (talk) 15:58, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Neutral: Parsing through newspapers.com, there are quite a lot of mentions of Ecker (around 6,000); now of course most appear to be passing mentions, but there are a few that do provide WP:SIGCOV (in addition to ) that get this article just over the nominal threshold for WP:GNG, with smaller mentions (like   ) able to fill in the gaps of content. However, all of the sources seem to be WP:LOCAL, and I'm not sure they are necessarily strong enough to assuage that concern. Curbon7 (talk) 16:15, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
