 * Keep - I have concluded that I was misled by the fluffy nature of what was once in the article, and that a good case can be made for keeping this. Can somebody close it? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep neutral - weak notability, article could easily be recreated... there hasn't been a lot invested in it, and it was a vandalmagnet. Unsourced BLP... these worry me.-  Sinneed  20:09, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Changing to Keep... my brain caught up... my personal feeling is that there are certain things that "count" for notability... having bio at the White House page is one. Having Oprah invite you as a guest is another.  These, to me, indicate that the individual has enough impact on our society to be notable in the sense I have from WP.-  Sinneed  22:11, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Please delete this person. Nothing to be gained here and since this guy is a minor figure there is not reason to keep a page up that keeps getting vandalized. Not in the spirit of wikipedia to have that happen. No reason for this guy to have a page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qazwsx54321 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: some notability as per, but I have no interest in this subject. As it stands the artcile should be deleted. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:24, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable, established as playing reasonably significant roles in important events . Note, for example, this Google book hit, indicating he played an important role in organizing the Maliki government in Iraq, as well as the description of his background.

Please delete this page. This person is innocent and keeps getting attacked and vandalized on this page. So please delete it. This person is a minor figure who shouldn't have to put up with daily vandalism and attacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qazwsx54321 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Hullabaloo and Sineed.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:56, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to "Jim Wilkinson (presidential advisor)". I hate the blanket label "politician" when its used for an officeholder, whether a President or a city council employee alike.  As I understand it, there are only two "Deputy National Security Advisors", the second one being designated for strategic communications, and we have a page for Deputy National Security Advisor.  There should be a page for the other position, and until then, Mr. Wilkinson was more than a mid-level bureaucrat or a minor figure.  Mandsford (talk) 14:58, 10 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. He's definitely a public figure, so there's no way he's 'marginally notable', after serving in the Bush Adminstration he's received some coverage in the business press for his role at the Brunswick Group. He wants this entry deleted (see Editor_assistance/Requests), but I don't think we need to do so as long as we prevent attack material. I removed the link to Sourcewatch as that is not a reliable source. Fences  &amp;  Windows  18:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable both as an advisor and as a hottie. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:51, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep He's sufficiently notable. BLP doesn't permit people to have their biographies taken down. That said, I'm going to go request semiprotection for it. - on further review, it looks like the attack is coming from a single editor. I've watchlisted the page.

 * Keep. He's held several positions of influence in the US government, thus is notable.  The stub needs semi-protection and a clean-up, but he's forfeited total privacy. Bearian (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Has enough media coverage, I'm afraid. Vartanza (talk) 16:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
