Thomas Jackson (police officer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This person is significant for his role in one event: the aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown. Other than that, he is an unremarkable police officer. The coverage in external sources consists of: Even his role in that one event is minor, and our articles on the event only mention him briefly. — RockMFR 22:31, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Local coverage announcing his hiring.
 * Local news stories mentioning him in passing (not the main subject; many police officers and pretty much all police chiefs in the United States have this level of coverage).
 * The Michael Brown shooting.
 * Delete as nomination: given his very minor role in the Thomas Jackson shooting & aftermath I don't think worth redirecting.TheLongTone (talk) 22:39, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia would be better if we included the names, tenure, and backgrounds of all prominent municipal officials, such as mayors and police chiefs. The national spotlight of the Brown shooting only adds to reasons to include that data somewhere in WP. --Darmokand

 * Delete. His department is far too small to confer inherent notability. Otherwise notable for a single event. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:55, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
