Subject is the police chief of a small town in Oklahoma, who acted in one video short. He doesn't appear to meet any of the notability criteria. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 22:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable. Only local coverage. Pburka (talk) 22:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. NPR, Reuters UK , and Seattle Times  - one national radio service, one paper in the northwest, and an international newswire.  These are just from GNews hits.   GregJackP   Boomer!   22:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment None of those include significant coverage of him—they're all about weather conditions in his small town. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 23:05, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow, mentioned in weather reports. JoshuSasori (talk) 23:52, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article is quite extensive, and yet reading it from top to bottom, there is nothing in this man's life which justifies a wikipedia biographical article. Extremely clearly fails general notability guidelines. JoshuSasori (talk) 23:52, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. He was appointed to the statewide office of Commissioner of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics by the Governor of Oklahoma which meets the criteria for the notability requirement. His work in Tactical Operations in Arkansas were also notable as it covered the entire Delta Region of Arkansas. Also the Radio and Newspaper serve the entire Panhandle region of Oklahoma as well as reaching into Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. --SteveJWilson580 (talk) 18:30, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Which notability criterion does being appointed Commissioner of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics meet? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:53, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The above user account, SteveJWilson580, seems to have been created solely to contest this deletion. JoshuSasori (talk) 22:07, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Note that the article says he was appointed to "serve as a Commissioner for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics". He's not the commissioner. It appears he's one of many or at least several. Pburka (talk) 22:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * A commissioner for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs is a political appointment for a statewide commission authorized by the Oklahoma Constitution. Since it is a statewide office it meets the criteria of of Section 2.8 just as an appointed judge or other legislative position Notability Criteria --SteveJWilson580 (talk) 23:18, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * My ID was not created to simply contest this deletion but this is my first attempt at helping on Wikipedia and I hope to be able to contribute on more items in the future, any help would be appreciated --SteveJWilson580 (talk) 23:18, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I have misrepresented you. Thanks for your contributions. However, your account was created very recently, and the first edit you made was about this deletion. Thanks. JoshuSasori (talk) 00:15, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem at all and if you can offer any pointers I would appreciate it. --SteveJWilson580 (talk) 00:41, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Although it's an appointment for a commission, it is not an "office" and it doesn't meet criteria of Section 2.8 Notability Criteria. Although I'm not convinced that section covers any appointments, this appointment is nothing like an appointed judge.  In addition, if that is decided as notable criteria, then the rest of this article is "fluff" to intended appear more notable than it really is. WallHalen (talk) 06:48, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe it does meet the criteria for notability. The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals has more members than the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and their members are appointed by the governor and meet that criteria such as Kenneth BuettnerSteveJWilson580 (talk) 19:28, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Where are your references that list the number of members of the commission that the subject has been appointed to? According to their website Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, they don't even LIST the members, in addition the last annual report available is 2005.  Really?  This makes the subject notable?  A commission that hasn't produced an annual report in 7 years?  I also don't understand how number of members of one group has to do with another, regarding notability, but I still contend that an appointment of a judge is far greater notable than this subject. WallHalen (talk) 04:55, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OBN has a seven member commission according to this listing on Wikipedia OBN Wikipedia Whether a judge is "far greater notable" than a commissioner for OBN is not the issue. The issue is whether that position is notable in and of itself and should not be compared to other notable positions. --SteveJWilson580 (talk) 12:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. I see no evidence that the subject has held any position that would grant notability per WP:POLITICIAN and the sources produced give only the briefest of mentions, far from satisfying the general notability guideline. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I would disagree. The commission members hold a statewide office as listed in 2.8 Politician--SteveJWilson580 (talk) 12:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Qworty (talk) 08:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
