Biography of a county supervisor, with no particularly strong sourcing to support it. This is a level of office which falls under WP:NPOL #3: a person at this level of government can qualify for a substantive and well-sourced article, but does not get automatic inclusion rights just because they exist. This, however, has almost no substance to it — there's just one sentence in the entire article about anything he did besides being born and dying — and the sourcing is either primary or local community weeklies that aren't widely-distributed enough to contribute anything toward WP:GNG.

 * Delete - there are sources out there, but all deal with his disappearance, and the coverage is not all that significant.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. County supervisors aren't generally notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:54, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep There's a few sources, so I'm willing to give this a chance.  Rcsprinter123    (remark)  @ 09:11, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete His role as a county supervisor (even for a large county like Orange County, California)) does not give him automatic inclusion here. His disappearance and presumed death do not qualify for an article because of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:1E. In a search, I found lots of stuff about events in the wilderness park named after him, and one news item about his disappearance. His disappearance is also mentioned in a book cited at the article. Not enough. --MelanieN (talk) 23:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
