 * Speedy Keep and Wikify This person was the District Attorney of New York, New York. Sure, the article needs a little formatting, but the District Attorney position of a major city is pretty important, don't you think? Diez2 01:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Heck if I know. I'm mainly listing this to get an opinion poll. I looked over the criteria for biographical notability. For me, Frank Hogan flunks the 100 year test - I don't particularly care who the DA of NYC was a hundred years ago, and I doubt if people a 100 years from now will care that much either. (Unless they are really into civic history.) But I realize that Your Mileage May Vary, hence the reason for the AfD process. crazyeddie 01:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have the same position as Crazy. Seems like an unimportant position to me, but what you consider important differs from person to person. John Smith&#39;s 09:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * john smith, seriously get a hobby and leave the guy alone. stop trolling his articles, i seriously doubt that you care about the issue either way and are just being petty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.27.132 (talk) 17:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly care about past US presidents either, but that doesn't make them non-notable. Deletion should be based on objective criteria, not someone's own opinion. - Mgm|(talk) 10:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. District attorney of NYC for over 30 years, US Senate candidate, many references. --- RockMFR 01:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep More than notable enough to warrant keeping. Paul 02:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - clears WP:BIO with room to spare. B.Wind 02:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject meets the notability requirements of WP:BIO. Article provides reliable, third-party sources as required by WP:V. -- Satori Son 04:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep a google search turns up reliable sources, and good ones too. Consider this one from the NYSDAA with an extensive bio or this one from the Village Voice, or this one which about the Lenny Bruce obscenity trial, of which he was lead prosecutor.  Notable out the wazoo. --Jayron 32  05:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:BIO, WP:V. Ummmm...are you kidding with me? --Ter e nce Ong (C 08:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep: He's immortalized by 1 Hogan Place in Manhattan, how can you say he fails the 100 year test? Furthermore, Google Books indicates his legacy in plenty of books and governmental hearing reports (like one about Jimmy Hoffa). --Howrealisreal 16:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Highly notable; much more so than many legislators. Will probably be remembered in 100 years as a street is named after him in lower Manhattan. Morris 02:08, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and respectfully suggest that the nominator withdraw this from AfD per WP:SNOW. RFerreira 02:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Is the nominator trying to live up to their user name? --Oakshade 06:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think he should go back to cutting prices: "Crazy Eddie, his prices are IN-SA-A-A-A-A-ANE!" --Howrealisreal 14:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
