Nguyen Ba Thanh

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This vietnamese communist is hardly notable. There are around a hundred of Secretaries of the Communist Party Committee in Vietnam and there's no reason for each of them to have a page on WP. This communist hasn't done anything to be noticed outside of his small city. This article does not have any citations either. Actually all articles about communists should be deleted. Communists should burn in hell. 212.116.219.92 (talk) 23:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Text copied from article talk page. ➲ redvers see my arsenal 21:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Yes, I'm aware that the IP's last two points are very counterproductive, but it hardly does to edit these things when moving them, so please don't all complain at once. The rest of the rationale at least merits discussion. ➲ redvers see my arsenal 21:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - "small city"? it's the 4th largest city in the country and has a population of over 750,000.  The article needs sourcing, but I fail to see how he is not-notable.  And the closing remarks (and lack of account) make me seriously question motives.  Grandmartin11 (talk) 21:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - clear notability as a politician, verified from, e.g.- this article from Da Nang city website. Parslad (talk) 23:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Nominator's rational is flawed. Notability is asserted in the article, and based on Parslad's link, can be proved. Edward321 (talk) 00:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as a clearly abusive nomination. I would remind the nominator that having a Wikipedia article about a person is not a badge of honour, or any kind of endorsement of that person's views. We have plenty of articles about people that many would consider should burn in hell. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
