Article where both speedy (A7) and prods were removed. Upshot is that this is a non-notable person who doesn't have any significant coverage outside of the local area, and so does not pass WP:GNG.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 17:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

  • No need for deletion I don't think there is any reason to delete this. The subject is a real person who has influence on society, and who cares if you don't know him. Most the people on Wikipedia are people that most people have never heard of and had almost no effect on society. I just found one that said Org Jorgenson or something like that. Who is that? there is like one like there and it hasn't been deleted. Therefor it would be hipocritic of you to delete this page and not all others like it. --Adminium 17:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. A great many people lead worthy lives but do not become notable. There is nothing here to demonstrate notability. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep- Major recognition as Teacher of the year in a state with 125K teachers. Dru of Id (talk) 01:57, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

:*Numbers isn't a valid deletion argument. Where are the [http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=527&ContentID=4553 other] Ohio teachers of the year? Certainly not here on Wikipedia.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 02:12, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. I think that teacher of the year, as an award given to one person in a large state, could be significant enough to form the basis of an article, if for instance it led to in-depth profiles of him in multiple newspapers with a scope greater than his local town. However, I wasn't able to find such stories in this case and I don't think the award itself, without any depth of third-party coverage, is enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete. Perhaps more importantly, there's no source for the award itself, nor his winning thereof. Lack of sources is a deal-breaker. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 20:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC).

:*Note [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=timothy+dove+ohio+teacher+of+the+year Google] finds a few news stories, including [http://education.ohio.gov/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=122&ContentID=100942&Content=102559 this official-looking one], so maybe it's not a totally lost cause. I guess it depends on the notability of the award itself. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 11:15, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
