Tony Tracy
Article about non-notable social worker. I think the assertion of notability is weak enough to support a speedy delete, but I also think it's close enough to the line not to speedy it unilaterally. —Cleared as filed. 05:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete nn bio. Ruby 05:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete orphaned article on a non-notable person.Homey 08:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - An internet search will reveal that Tracy is much more than a social worker. He is a prominent activist anad was a leading member of the BC NDP Socialist Caucus.  Users should find it telling that user Homey votes to delete definitions of people on the same side of the political spectrum as himself, yet to keep definitions of those on the far-right, who are often even less notable, such as James Scott Richardson.

 * Hm, seems the fact that Tracy was once a member of the steering committee of the BC NDP's "Socialist Caucus" (a group of, say, a dozen people) is of such significance you didn't even bother to mention it in the article.Homey 13:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Just borderline on notability... He did seem to be associated with some borderline notable things, but just not quite enough Ikh (talk) 14:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The information has not been fully filled out yet Imstillhere 15:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Given their editing patterns, writing styles and actual edits, I suspect User:Imstillhere and User:Dogmatic are the same person. Checkuser has been requested. If this is the case, voting twice is a violation of wikipedia policy that merits banning.Homey 17:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable enough. Latinus 19:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I can assure you that Imstillhere and Dogmatic are not the same user and that checkuser will not return anything that will get me banned. Just because both users take the same stance, it doesn't mean they are the same people. Imstillhere 20:12, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete notability-by-proxy. Open to persuasion. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] AfD? 20:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sorry but doing good work, and being a member of a few local committees does not make a person notable.  "Tony Tracy has very recently joined our staff team as our new Administrative Assistant. Tony comes to us from Vancouver, where he worked as a tenants’ rights advocate and Community Legal Worker, as well as being involved in the fight for affordable housing & against homelessness and poverty. He has been active in broad social justice movement campaigns, including campaigns around poverty & wages issues, anti-globalization, anti-racism and anti-war." Obina 21:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that subject is notable. CJCurrie 01:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Subject is notable. But the level of information presented isn't. The article needs to be expanded. Perhaps needs an "Article needs to be expanded" template? --Dogbreathcanada 21:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * How do you know the subject is notable if there isn't any notable information in the article?70.28.159.194 02:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Because I live in the area. So I'm privy to information not in the article. It's my vote. Go debate elsewhere. --Dogbreathcanada 07:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If you have information of the subject's notability you should add it to the article. We can only judge the notability of the topic on the information contained within the article. I don't see how domicile is relevent - do you actually know of Tony Tracy and his notability? If you're privy to information then share it, otherwise we have nothing to go on.Homey 13:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
