Delete Local town clerk. Notability not established in accordance with topical notability guidelines for politicians or the general notability guidelines, which require significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 11:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete On the reasonably assumption that the article's writer included whatever coverage there is, not notable. Too bad -- nice portrait of an apparently nice person. EEng (talk) 12:41, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Question. Why don't you guys consider [http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19720225&id=6eFUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0JADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6886,5008160 this article] to be significant coverage? It's a big article in Australia's second biggest broadsheet, The Age? Jenks24 (talk) 09:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

::Yes. But (a) it's a single article (b) it's unsigned (c) it's based on an interview with the subject rather than investigative journalism (d) it's about things like his hobbies, essentially a human interest story. So yes, it's an article, and with a whole bunch of other articles it might be enough, but it's not enough by itself and it doesn't suggest or infer that there are many other articles out there that we haven't found yet.
