Janette Sadik-Khan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable local un-elected official. Cerejota (talk) 03:37, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. If someone passes WP:GNG (exhibits A, B, C, D, etc. etc. etc.), it doesn't matter if they fail WP:POLITICIAN. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 03:47, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep An appointed official can be notable if that person meets the general notability guideline. A Google News Archive search combined with the references already in the article  shows that this person certainly does.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  03:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Janette is well known in the urban planning and transportation circles far beyond New York, and has been profiled in several of the larger New York magazines/papers. Burgundavia (&#9992; take a flight?) 17:12, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable as per above. Joe Chill (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep A clear case of when to not let WP:POLITICIAN cloud your perception of WP:BASIC. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 22:37, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nominator appears to believe being unelected is grounds for deletion. Not true at all. If she was an official in a small or even medium-sized city then she certainly wouldn't be worthy of an article, but the head of a major department in a city the size of New York is definitely notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep without a doubt, has sources, and is notable. CapMan07008 (talk) 13:29, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
