Peter A. Shapiro (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Résumé-style WP:BLP of a political figure active at the county level of political office (but no, not in New Jersey this time). As always, this is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass -- people at the county level of office need to be referenced to a depth and volume and geographic range of reliable source coverage that marks them out as clearly more notable than most other county councillors. But the referencing here isn't doing that: it depends far too strongly on primary sources that cannot support notability and glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage about other things, with virtually no evidence of reliable sources that are about him. There's also a probable conflict of interest here, as the article was created by an WP:SPA with no prior edit history and then edited by the subject himself within six hours. And even if he did clear NPOL, the article would still have to be written as a proper encyclopedia article, not as a pile of bullet-pointed résumé sections -- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free alternative to LinkedIn.
