AfDs for this article:
- Santa Clara County Supervisors (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
It has not been demonstrated that this local elected position is notable enough for justifying this list. Expert review request did not establish notability either. Previous nomination in 2005 resulted in "no consensus". -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 08:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The article has been cleaned up since it's previous AFD, but that has simply left it a list of non-notable names. Sorry, but not everyone who holds any elected office anywhere is notable. County Supervisors aren't exactly high profile positions. I'm sure I'm not alone when i say I can name just about every teacher I've ever had, but not a single public official at County level in my county. In addition, the people on the list who have articles are serious deletion candidates as well, with the exception of those who later went on to some higher office. -R. fiend 13:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. Per WP:BIO being elected to local office does not grant automatic notability - the folks on this list would require reliable sourcing to establish notability just like anyone else. I'm not sure a list of people who aren't prima facie notable is a good idea. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete' per wikipedia is not a directory (of elected officials) Corpx 16:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete I almost suggested merge, because most articles about cities and other sub-state level organizations have lists of executives (mayors). But supervisors in California counties are more legislative than executive in nature and so akin to city council members, aldermen, or such which one generally wouldn't expect to see listed in an encyclopedia article.
