David Clark (District Attorney)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Campaign literature for the DA named. Full of superlatives and outrageous claims for the alleged great work he does. No reason given for notability. SolidPlaid 02:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. I cleaned up some of the POV statements, but I don't think it passes WP:N B figura  (talk) 03:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Mississippi-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 08:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The only thing, that´s missing is a "you can vote for him here"-box. Not only WP:N but WP:SPAM too. --Thw1309 14:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't know if there's a policy called WP:ASSKISSING but if this worshipful article isn't an advertisement, it would probably fit. Mandsford 15:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - article fixed. E343ll 17:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * "In the 2003 election, he ran unopposed. He received 100.0% of the vote." Duh, how much did the other candidate get? Mandsford 18:22, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Wow, how did I miss that gem of logic. Anyway, I reworded it slightly, although I'm still not convinced that he meets WP:N. -- B figura (talk) 18:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth Normally, I don't care about politics in Madison and Rankin County, Mississippi, but I had to learn more.  You forgot to mention that your hero lost the August 9, 2007 election by a landslide to another lawyer named Michael Guest.  Doesn't anybody there use Wikipedia?  Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey.... Mandsford 22:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as WP:N even if WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I cleaned up the spam. Bearian 01:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I still don't see how he is notable. Small town mayors have been found to be non-notable. SolidPlaid 06:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per this and Bearian's clean up.--LAZY 1L 21:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * "this" is a category of district attornies, but nearly all the guys in the category went on to bigger elected positions, or, like Mike Nifong, are in the news a lot. SolidPlaid 22:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The existence of a category does not mean that the criteria establishes notability.  If it was, we would all be notable because of inclusion in Category:Living people or the various other categories we would fit in.  When I check a few articles in the category, I get people such as Robert J. Gamble & George Gekas who are clearly notable for other reasons. -- JamesTeterenko 07:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. I do not see how being a district attorney by itself is notable.  I might be convinced otherwise, but such an argument has not yet be presented.  -- JamesTeterenko 07:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
