Gregory Davidson

Non-notable high school teacher, fails WP:BIO by a country mile. The article asserts that he "gained statewide notoriety" through nothing more than alerting county officials to a rule disallowing a candidate from standing for county sheriff, but the websites of both newspapers cited (with articles dated in June and November of this year) don't seem to have heard of him, and "Gregory Davidson" + "Oklahoma" turns up zero hits on Google News. Meets none of the criteria for politicians or educators in WP:BIO, no verifiable sources. RGTraynor 20:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Ah, a perfect example of WP:ONEEVENT. Maybe we should keep him just so we can use him as an example! Naah, not worth the trouble... DARTH PANDA ^duel 20:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to wikinews? or is it too dateed dfor them? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no third party reliable non-primary sources to establish notability. He doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN either, he's doens't hold major political office nor has he recieved significant press coverage.--Patton 123 21:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I Googled him, nothing came up. If the world's best search engine doesn't list him, why should the web's best encyclopedia have an article on him? TopGearFreak ^Talk 16:23, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
