Germanicus Young Tigner

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This city court judge does not appear to satisfy WP:BIO the guideline for notability applicable to biographies, or WP:POLITICIAN, the guideline for judges, since he held local rather than statewide office. Edison (talk) 23:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:POLITICIAN is part of WP:BIO. I think you mean to refer to WP:BASIC, not BIO. James500 (talk) 06:21, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I said what I meant. WP:POLITICIAN is a part of WP:BIO specific to politicians. Someone might be a nonnotable politician but notable in business, academia, the arts, or other realms of endeavor. The article at the time of nomination only said he served as a city judge. Edison (talk) 23:27, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Judge in a smallish city. Doesn't cut it notability-wise. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, "A man of broad capabilities, resourceful, and quick to grasp a situation and utilize opportunities, Honorable Germanicus Young Tigner has for many years been an important factor in the public life of Muscogee county...", indicates notability. --Soman (talk) 02:56, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * In what way? -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:22, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. Satisfies GNG. In addition to the sources in the article, there is also this. James500 (talk) 23:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment' In what way does he satisfy WP:BIO or GNG? And the book you link to is just some family's book of genealogy, and the snippet just shows his name is mentioned. It takes more than that to demonstrate notability. Edison (talk)
 * He satisfies GNG in that he has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There is no indication that the book that I linked to was written or commissioned by the family in question, it contains information that is not genealogical (despite its name) and the snippet that I linked to mentions more than just his name. As for "It takes more than that to demonstrate notability": There are several pages of three books cited in the article. That prima facie satisfies GNG. Go through them one at at time and tell me exactly what is wrong with them. James500 (talk) 05:12, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Tigner also satisfies WP:POLITICIAN ("members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature") in that he was elected to a state legislature several times. See : "In 1888 Mr Tigner was elected as a representative to the state legislature ... In 1902 he was again elected to represent his county in the state legislature, and served in the sessions of 1902, 1903 and 1904." James500 (talk) 05:51, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. per James500. State legislator. Enos733 (talk) 17:24, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination on the basis that he served in his state legislature, a fact not mentioned in the article at the time it was nominated, when the article just mentioned his holding a city court judgeship. Edison (talk) 01:33, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That fact was mentioned in one of the sources cited in the article. Please read WP:BEFORE if you have not already done so. You should read the sources cited in an article, and, if those do not indicate notability, conduct a thorough search for sources, before nominating that article for deletion through AfD.
