William Steinberg (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a smalltown mayor, not based on nearly enough quality reliable source coverage to pass the "who have received significant press coverage" condition in WP:NPOL #2. Although this cites 19 sources, and I'll certainly give some credit to people for trying harder than any of the other mayors in the same region that I've also nominated in this go-round, the vast majority of them are either primary sources or local community weekly newspapers that don't count for very much toward WP:GNG -- the only sources that actually show notability at all here are the handful of citations to the Montreal Gazette, and two of those three are routine coverage of election results, which leaves the third (a fracas over the town's advertising contract with one of the same community weeklies being cited elsewhere in the article) as a WP:BLP1E incident of no enduring notability. There's a lot of WP:UNDUE weight on minor trivia here ("In debates, Sternthal considered learning French to be essential in Quebec, but Steinberg stated that his lifelong hearing condition prevents him from learning a new language"), but very little noteworthy substance, and nowhere close to the depth or breadth of sourcing needed to grant him an NPOL pass.

 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:N and WP:GNG. The mentions in the press fail to describe his biography.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:26, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
