Sherron Rolax

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

Subject's sole claim to fame is being controversially frisked by former New Jersey governor Christie Whitman, an incident which ended up being a fairly minor footnote in her political career. After the incident, he went on to get in some degree of trouble with the law and was eventually (presumably) murdered, events which went largely unnoticed even in the greater Camden, New Jersey area. Since all of the encyclopedic content on this individual is on the Christine Todd Whitman article, article should be deleted/merged appropriately. Thunderbunny (talk) 03:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Christine Todd Whitman. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Appears to be a ONEEVENT case.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 03:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above, although the merge is just a formality. The discussion of the incident at Christine Todd Whitman is already better than it is in this article.  Also, I just added the photo of the incident to the Whitman article, where it really belongs.  Neutron (talk) 05:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect of course, per everybody above. --Lockley (talk) 07:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Rolax was a continuing subject of media coverage for the remainder of his life. Ample claim of notability. Alansohn (talk) 05:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really. There was nothing really earth-shattering about his drug arrests, and his death was not exactly extensively covered. The earlier incident with Whitman is the only reason why anybody knows about any of this at all. Thunderbunny (talk) 04:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, plenty of press coverage to warrant an article. Everyking (talk) 05:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per above; the event is notable due to Whitman, not Rolax. Neıl 龱  11:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * merge per above.:) Sticky Parkin 11:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - It will not be merged. The birth date and the various arrests even if added will eventually be deleted as not relevant to that article. Merge will in fact become delete and no one here has a good argument for delte. We are becoming way too deletionist. There is nothing wrong with wikipedia having this article. Further I'll bet closers act like this is a vote. The arguments used are what is supposed to matter. WAS 4.250 (talk) 13:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
