Gary Hayes

Gary Hayes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Contested speedy and prod. Non notable local politician, nothing offered that meets WP:BIO. Nuttah68 07:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Nuttah68 07:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

This article has already underwent deletion consideration. I request that this deletion notice be removed because this seems like WP:GAME. Sgt. bender 20:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Unfortunately, a comment like "I just think it adds a little flavor to the local area. We barely get any internet coverage at all. This way, someone can go online and check out their politicians." by Sgt. bender, the originator and main contributor to this article (see ), seems to confirm that the subject is not covered elsewhere and so non notable. --Goochelaar 20:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

This article on Gary Hayes should be left. Considering that a video on YouTube featuring Mr. Hayes was viewed over 500 times in one day, was commented on 25 times, and received two YouTube "honors" shows that he is noteworthy enough to garner at least some attention on a national forum. Let the article stay. Dr.orfannkyl —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 16:01, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Note that Dr.orfannkyl's only contribution to Misplaced Pages has been the comment on this AfD. Accounting4Taste 17:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
