Social Security Texas school district controversy

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article appears to fail WP:NOTNEWS. No evidence of long-term notability. As far as can be determined, the government reported a discrepancy, some newspapers and websites briefly discussed it, and then it fell off the radar. Why do we need an article on this? *** Crotalus *** 13:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, agreed. This is a local scandal; it might be worth a slight mention in some larger article about Social Security regulations - the Social Security (United States) section is rather brief - but does not seem to be a subject with "legs". - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. This has been a long-running issue with national news coverage including the New York Times . The article does need lots of work from someone with access to the relevant news sources (best coverage is likely to come from regional news operations).
