John Randolph Riley
Tentative nomination under several possible categories. Firstly as a nn bio, though I'm unfamiliar with the notability attached to being a former district attorney. Secondly as unverified, Google searches for "John Randolph Riley"+"District Attorney"+"Wake County" show up nothing, ditto "John Riley"+"District Attorney"+"Wake County" along with numerous similar searches. Finally it currently appears to be mostly a vanity/memorial page, though if they guy does prove to be notable enough for inclusion it can doubtless be cleaned up a bit.

 * Delete. This appears to be a cut and paste of an obituary.  Not notable.  Jtmichcock 12:48, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for all reasons given above. Also, he only served 'for a time' as a DA - it wasn't even his métier. Eddie.willers 12:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
