Hello. I completed your AFD for you -- it's easier it you use the tool from the panel at the left hand side of the window. This will do all of the administration accurately. Wikipedia has some strange views on notability. Coverage in reliable sources is normally the benchmark. You should take a look at Waterloo Road Comprehensive, which was unbelievably kept despite having no where near as much coverage as Gould. The JPS ^{talk to me} 20:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Thanks for your help - I'm just getting to know the tools. I'll have to read the rules on notability - have you got a link?? Strange about Waterloo Road!! --WikiKing2012 (talk) 20:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

:WP:N is a good place to start. Wikipedia:Notability (people) is for, well, people. There is a section about politicians (which Gould fails) but she passes the basic criteria. The JPS ^{talk to me} 21:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello. A number of your AfD nominations failed to conform to WP:AFDHOWTO. I've fixed those, but in the future please follow the guide, as otherwise no one would be able to see your nominations on the AfD log. The notability guidelines are at WP:N. Tim Song (talk) 20:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
