Kyle Peavley
A few of us on the aritcle's talk page are questioning the notability on this article, so we'll bring it here for more input. From what I understand, Kyle is a student in this anti-tobacco group, stand, and is apparently highly involved. The group received an award in DC from the Campaign for Smoke Free Kids. Kyle has been involved with a bunch of their projects and his name has been mentioned in some newspapers for it. A Google search for 'Kyle Peavly" returns 415 results. However, if you eliminate all results from "ratemyteachers.com," a site where Kyle frequents the forums, you get 25 results.  In my opinion, while it is good work he is doing, it is not notable enough for Wikipedia.  It seems like he's highly involved with the organization, but isn't THE organization.  I, too, am highly involved with a student organization (I'm the national secretary of one that serves over 200,000 members) but I don't think that makes me particular notable.

You're right he is not THE organization, but he is the Administrative Manager of the organization and goes throughout Ohio speaking on behalf of the organization, clean indoor air for the state (including giving speeches at clean indoor air ralleys and cities that are kicking off being smoke free including Kettering Ohio on Money), and is at every health fair in the state giving speeches. He is highly in the media for his work at least 4 times a week in his hometown area and more throughout the state. I have stated previously that I would be more than happy to provide media coverage on DVD and send that in. I just feel that he deserves a spot on here for all the work that he has done throughout the years and continues to do on a state level here in Ohio. He is one of our most notable teens in the state in our opinion but won't state that because it is bias. I just feel there's no real reason to delete this article and if you would let me know what more can be done to ensure it is not deleted I would be more than happy to strive towards acheiving that. Thanks again. -Melissa

 * Delete: According to article, he is "very pationate[sic] at what he does" -- so give him a plaque and sincere thanks, but I don't think he has yet achieved sufficientl notability. BuckRose 17:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

It's ashamed that most of the interviews are done on the news and are only on video. I think if you were from Ohio and had at least payed attention to any tobacco news (which there has been a lot of it in the past year) you will find Kyle's face, speeches, and quotes plastered all over the news. - Melissa
