Don Wright (public servant)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:BLP of a government bureaucrat, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to clear our inclusion standards. The notability claim here is essentially that he exists as a person with a job -- but the job in question is not an WP:NPOL-passing office that automatically guarantees an article, it's an appointed bureaucratic role where he would have to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing. However, three of the five footnotes here are primary source press releases from the government or his prior employer, which are not notability-assisting sources. And as for the two that do come from real media, one of them comes from a suburban community hyperlocal rather than a major newspaper, and both of them are being used solely to support background trivia on his family life and prior career rather than any potentially notability-building content about his work in the role that's purportedly his notability claim. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have quite a bit more than just two hits of coverage in real media. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
