Actually a relist of Articles for deletion/David Bale: I deleted this article due to consensus to delete. However, I failed to notice that the delete votes were expired due to improvements, and therefore a DRV was brought up. Per comments there, I am relisting this article. The reason for DRV is here:.  Soxred  93  19:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Delete - regretably I have to agree with Hunting dog. The references in the article just are not sufficient to establish notability. Sorry.

 * delete - none of the references seem to point to individual notability - as they all fail under "notability not being inherited" or "not memorial". Apologies seems like nice guy but not suitable for article. -Hunting dog (talk) 20:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I do believe the subject is notable per WP:BIO. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't know what the article looked like before it was deleted by AFD, er, 2 days ago, but based upon the major, non-trivial sources and coverage cited here, I feel he satisfies notability beyond being Bale's dad and Steinhem's hubby. 23skidoo (talk) 03:30, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Outside of the pay screen, there's his NYTimes Obit, his CNN obit  and the Seattle times one.   Behind it, you've got obits from the LAtimes , the Washington Post , and plenty more obits listed on google news from 2004 .  If you get an obituary in all the big national newspapers, you're notable.  Clear pass of WP:Bio for me. Vickser (talk) 07:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The key question is: Are the newspaper articles non-trivial? In my opinion, they are borderline, although they are big newspapers and there are several articles. On this basis, David Bale is notable. Axl (talk) 09:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - obits in all the major dailies across the US would indicate that sufficient reliable sources exist to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 15:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
