Charles and Virginia de Gravelles

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An article lacking independent sources (other than the author's own master's dissertation) on two figures in a state party machine neither of whom appears to have been elected to public office. Guy (Help!) 21:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Louisiana Political Hall of Fame inductees in 2007:

Diana E. Bajoie, Sally Clausen, Charles & Virginia De Gravelles, Huntington "Hunt" Downer, Jr., Theodore "Ted" Jones, Mary Landrieu, Sean O'Keefe

The de Gravelleses are the only couple jointly inducted into the hall of fame. They are considered the first registered white Republicans in the 20th Century in Lafayette Parish.

 * delete it's not the Louisiana hall of fame, its the Louisiana Political Museum and hall of Fame, and I dont consider it a sufficiently critical source to determine notability. What's more there are no sources at all. The entire thing is based on a primary interview with the local branch of the state university oral history project, The first two white republication of a single parish is not notability.

This is inherent notability for any of the above names. About half have Wikipedia articles already.

I counted sixty-six of the ninety-three with Wikipedia article. All should qualify.

 * Reluctant delete, as there appears to be insufficient coverage in third-party reliable sources with which to write an acceptable article, and as it is believed that most of the article constitutes original research. This recommendation is without prejudice to restoration if sufficient coverage in third-party reliable sources is found. John254 02:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
