Deletion of Nathanial Bates

Comment: One of a series of cut-and-paste deletion nominations by this nominator. No indication that  has been followed in this case. I also find it offensive and contrary to policy that independent, published coverage in the local press is deemed not "independent enough." This is not NewYorkCitypedia or Londonpedia or Chicagopedia, this is Wikipedia

Comment: nbsp; Thanks to Nwlaw63 for mentioning the error in the title.&nbsp; Few online newspaper archives go back to 1967, so we can expect as per  that someone with access to the downtown San Francisco main library would find a long list of additional references in the back copies of the San Francisco Chronicle, references beyond http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/qws/ff/qr?term=%22Nat+Bates%22&period=all&Submit=S these.&nbsp; But just the first three of these are enough to show wp:notability.&nbsp; http://richmondconfidential.org/2010/10/19/ever-the-politician-nat-bates-wont-back-down/ This ref is the full-length article partially carried in the SFC.&nbsp
