William C. Barham

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

County politician, fails WP:POLITICIAN, not many sources either. Rusf10 (talk) 23:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, local politician that doesn't meet WP:GNG.  00:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG - a cursory before search under a couple of different names didn't bring much up. SportingFlyer  talk  01:19, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - It seems many years ago a certain (presumably retired) editor created several articles on politicians that clearly fail NPOL, including this one. Why, we may never know for sure. Perhaps we can bundle a few of these politicians into one AFD to settle this issue more efficiently?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I would have gladly bundled, but every time I do, a small group of people try to derail the discussion with "procedural keeps" even though there clearly nothing wrong with the bundle.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * understood. That small group of editors tend to be the same usual suspects I deal with as well. Looks like we just have to share the burden.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete The subject of this article fails wp:politician, as he has not held statewide office or higher, and the wp:gng as I could not find any substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Zingarese (talk) 02:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

 * the reason to be very careful about bundling is that it is very easy for an editor looking too narrowly at a political career, to miss other sources of notability, and, because some major media are behind paywalls, and some active politicians were more notable a couple of decades ago, editors who lack access to multiple news archives bundle apples and oranges together.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)


 * delete neither Barham's business career nor his political career appear to meet WP standards of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: I guess I'll close this one out. No statewide office, no inherent notability, not enough sources. &mdash; Javert2113 (Let's chat!) 15:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
