Cheye Calvo

Template:La (delete) – (View log)

Although the incident received world-wide media attention, this particular article fails WP:BIO1E. The subject fails WP:POLITICIAN as he is a non-notable mayor of a town that is 0.6 sq. miles in size. It seems to be a redundant rewrite of Berwyn Heights drug raid.

• Keep He probably received local press when he was running for mayor. I'd choose a redirect over outright deletion either way riffic (talk) 06:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

additionally, google news brings up quite a bit of hits on his name pre-2008. I'm not sure if they're the same person, seems likely though. riffic (talk) 06:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

• weak keep BLP1E doesn't quite apply here because he is a) a successful politician and b) has coverage in news sources prior to the incident for which he is most well known. There is however so little in the other news sources that redirection wouldn't be unreasonable for now. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC) Changing to full keep. Earlier logic still applies and basic precedent about mayors and such then comes into play. JoshuaZ (talk) 19:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
• Per WP:POLITICIAN, mayors are not kept or deleted on the basis of the size of the community that they lead, but on the presence or absence of reliable sources about the person. In fact, mayors are almost always kept — regardless of the community's size — if the article is well-referenced and more substantial than just "So-and-so is the mayor of Place." Accordingly, keep unless there are WP:BLP issues that haven't been addressed here yet. Bearcat (talk) 22:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Note: The size of the town is irrelevant to the AfD argument. The first two pages on google say nothing about Calvo prior to the news event. It's not until the third page does other information come up and then it's only LinkedIn, FaceBook, and other n/n blogs. That's why I felt it failed WP:N pursuant WP:BIO1E. However, after looking at the matter further, because of the amount of reports to the single incident it may barely qualify for inclusion. (Conversely, in 10 years, I doubt many people will remember or care about the "botched" raid when the police came in John Wayne-style with guns-a-blazin'). Regardless, I think that it is at the least a valid AfD candidate who's outcome could provide WP "case law" for future similar situations! Cheers to all!--It's me...Sallicio!^$\oplus$ 22:47, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

The fact that he is a non-notable mayor of a town that is 0.6 sq. miles in size is the only reason you gave for how he might fail WP:POLITICIAN kinda makes size look not irrelevant to the crux of the argument, but I suppose YMMV. Bearcat (talk) 13:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
