Glenn Maerz
Delete nn, vanity, or hoax. 4 Google hits TheMidnighters 21:14, 17 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Do not delete Glenn Maerz is a municipal political treasure here in Goshen, NY, and to delete this article would be a crime. He is a legitimate political activist as well as member of the Citizens for Open Space Coalition (http://www.citizensforopenspace.org/7343.html) and the article is entirely factual. (Unsigned comment by )
 * He also can't decide which political party he is from: the name of the party has changed since this article was nominated for deletion. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 21:38, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The Shirtless Grizzly Bear Party of New York has been renamed the Nudist Party of New York in a PR bid for New Yorkers to take its candidates more seriously; please do your research before talking about something you know nothing of in the future, because I'm not always going to be around to do your homework for you.

 * And that change took place while this article was being written did it? PS please don't change the attribution for your comments from your IP to a username.

 * I was informed of the name change shortly after I wrote the article, yes, but the change apparently took place many weeks ago.  What other problems do you have with this article, if any?
 * There, I've created an account.
 * Good. The problem I have with the article is the individual in question isn't notable enough for an encyclopedia. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 00:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * How can you make such a judgement as a non-resident of Goshen? He is a local celebrity here and deserves at the very least a stubbed entry on Wikipedia for all his fame.
 * That's precisely my point. If he's not notable outside one small town in New York, he's not notable enough for an encyclopedia. -- Francs2000 |Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 01:03, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree. You are underestimating Goshen's importance and quite frankly, I find that very offensive.  We'll see who's not "notable" outside of one "small town" in New York when Governor Maerz is sworn in in 2007.
 * Oh please, stop wasting my time. The guy is an activist that Google has never heard of. He comes from a town in New York with less than 13,000 people living in it, and the article about him establishes no notability outside who his wife and children are, and the fact that he might one day run for Mayor of New York for a political party that no-one has ever heard of. Come back when he actually gets elected. -- Francs2000 | Talk[[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 01:13, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Again, you're failing to do your research. It is a run for Governor, not Mayor, that Mr. Maerz is considering, and I already linked you to an article that establishes Mr. Maerz's prominent seat on the board of directors for the successful Open Space Coalition.  You want me to stop wasting your time? I'm sorry; I know you're a very busy man, spending every waking hour of your day patrolling Wikipedia and all.

 * Delete looks like a joke to me. joke or not, nn. Friday 21:48, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per TheMidnighters, plus abuse of process. Dcarrano 22:06, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Do not delete Glenn Maerz is an active politician of Goshen and a model citizen. Deleting this entry would be a slap to to the face of this great member of society. (Unsigned comment by )
 * Delete nn vanity. --Etacar11 01:21, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete lets stop wasting time--Porturology 02:06, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable vanity. JamesBurns 09:32, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It is not vanity. I've never even met Mr. Maerz, but you can't live here in Goshen and not know of him. (Unsigned comment by )
