William Beavers
This short-short stub reads "William Beavers is a Chicago Alderman." End of stub. How is notability being illustrated in this article and what makes it worthy of inclusion here on Wikipedia? Should it be kept or deleted? GRider\talk 16:41, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence found that he meets the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies.  Rossami (talk) 06:24, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No eveidence of notability. Indrian 04:31, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. (1) Local politicians aren't inherently notable, and there is no evidence of notability provided in the article; (2) It is marginally more than a sub-stub.  It is most likely that a person arriving at this article will already know that Beavers was a Chicago alderman, and be exasperated with Wikipedia for wasting his time.  In cases such as this, redlinks are superior to sub-stubs.  --BM 21:13, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
