Jim Daley (politician)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject's only claim to notability is being Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley's brother. He's also a mayor of a Chicagoland suburb himself...and I've just restated the entire article. Speedy was declined. -- Finngall  talk  15:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Suburban mayors are not inherently notable, and the reference to Richard M. Daley is inaccurate. All of Richard M. Daley's siblings are listed at Richard J. Daley and none of them are named Jim. In fact, Jim Daley of Homer Glen claims to be Richard M. Daley's third cousin, not his brother. --Metropolitan90 16:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete scope of notability is so small in this case that I dont think it warrants inclusion into WP Corpx 17:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, at least not yet. He's not really a son of Dick Daley or brother of Richard Daley, and he's been mayor of Homer Glen for only 3 months. He's appropriately mentioned in the Homer Glen article. --orlady 18:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, falls far below normal WP:BIO requirements. Relation to Chicago Daleys would not meet notability standards even if it were significant. --Dhartung | Talk 19:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Richard M.Daley as content is very limited.--JForget 23:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment He's the man's third cousin. That tenuous blood connection is not significant enough to merit mention there. --Dhartung | Talk 12:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nomination, does not meet the WP:BIO requirements. Burntsauce 18:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, he is the mayor.... Mathmo Talk 22:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ....which all by itself is insufficient under the criteria for politicians under WP:BIO. -- Finngall  talk  00:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
