Rodney Glassman

Contested PROD. Biography appears to be about a local politician with dubious notability per WP:POLITICIAN and even more dubious sourcing per WP:RS. No major sources indicative of WP:BIO other than Tucson-area newspapers, etc. Also is too unbalanced: too much high praise and biographical data to be a WP:NPOV article (puff piece) and really no information about his political impact to his constituency (after all, that is the reason he's allegedly notable). -- Kinu t /c  01:43, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The one reliable source provided with the article establishes that Glassman might want to run for McCain's seat--that's it. The other reference is a puff piece from a local business journal (not found on their site) published on the page of the business school of his alma mater (five times over). Other hits from Google News are from local papers, reporting on what he's doing as a city council member, and that position does not confer notability. Drmies (talk) 14:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient notability to meet guidelines. Fails "crystal". ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:45, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
