• Delete No reliable sources, non notable, not verifiable, OR. Mwanner | Talk 13:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, notable politician. Stifle (talk) 14:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

::Can you find any reliable sources for his notability, or any of the rest of the article? I tried, and came up empty. -- Mwanner | Talk 15:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Gnews turns up several references in his local county paper, the Lower Hudson Journal; not sure that consitutes enough sources to be "notable". Notably, though, Google turned up no mention of him that I could find in NYC papers; the one hit I got in the New York Times was about S. Edwin Day, a NY state assemblyman of the 1890s.

• Sure, there are some hits mentioning the guy, but nothing I could find would constitute a reliable source for the article's major claims. -- Mwanner | Talk 17:37, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Very limited hits on Google, no visible national press coverage, fails WP:POLITICIAN as not in the highest sub-national level of government (county legislator) and no notable contributions on the local level. Theseeker4 (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
• Keep notable as Chief of Detective in the Baltimore police. A major position--one of t he highest officers--of a major city police force. We do need to find some sourcing about it, but that's what we should be looking for. that it might not be easily accessible online is irrelevant. DGG (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete no sources, non-notable. Dlabtot (talk) 03:59, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Notability not established. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• Keep I dug up a source from Lexis Nexis that discussed his appointment to head the Baltimore Police Department and an article about him submitting legislation. I have to pry it out, but sources do seem to exist. Being both a police chief and a politician makes someone notable (in my opinion at least) especially when sources exist). - Mgm|^(talk) 13:03, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. The requisite non-trivial coverage from reliable third party sources appears to be lacking. JBsupreme (talk) 13:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN (sub-state level), and Chief of Detectives is not so high a spot that it gets automatic notability. In this case, we consider WP:BIO, and it is clear that Mr. Day has not received *significant* amounts of coverage in reliable secondary sources. RayAYang (talk) 17:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
