James Dickens (U.S. politician)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable local politician. Unsourced since 2006, I can't find any references. Hut 8.5 21:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete He's a former city council member and possibly a former mayor, which would be fine under WP:POLITICIAN. But regardless, he has to meet the primary notability criterion. He doesn't. --/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 21:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Needs sources, but a note: the subject need only meet one notability guideline in order to be considered notable. WP:Politician exists in order to create a standard of inclusion for what is a high visibility profession.  See WP:PROF for another good example of a notability guideline designed around the profession. Protonk (talk) 04:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Notwithstanding the comment above, if it doesn't have sources, it has to go. Protonk (talk) 16:07, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sources added but No Opinion on notability; I don't live in the USA and I don't know how significant being a "member of the city council of Irving, Texas" for 8 years is. However I have used the magic of news.google.com to rustle up sources for his initial election, and his electoral defeat. --Stormie (talk) 01:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
