Deletion of Raymond A. Watson (2nd nomination)

Comment: Coverage is not exclusively local, nor is it exclusively routine and/or trivial, so I don't think either of those arguments holds water. With the depth and range of news reporting that he seems to have accumulated, I can't see how Watson fails /. Maybe this means that the guideline is too broad and accepts articles that it shouldn't, but that would be much better discussed elsewhere and certainly isn't a reason for deleting in this specific case. Nor would retaining this article create a precedent of any kind, since the decision should (and hopefully will) be based on the article in question rather than any general principle
