Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Bologna
This is a classic case of , an article about an obscure New York City police official propelled to prominence by a ''single'' incident. I think it's important to quote the relevant portion of that policy: '''If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event and if, outside of the event, that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.''' Let's not pretend that there is any chance there would be an article on this official were it not for the pepper spraying incident, Pepper spraying of the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators|an article on which was justifiably merged with the article on the Wall Street demonstrations. The 2004 allegations are absolutely irrelevant to Bologna's notability, which relate to that single incident. The routine biographical details taken from a non-notable free-distribution handout weekly ("Downtown Express," a publication of questionable appropriateness for a BLP ), were added as a fig leaf. I echo Collect's comment and urge the closing administrator to take into consideration that many of the editors materializing here have had few edits apart from this subject area. It seems to me that this is a test case as to whether Wikipedia is serious about BLP, even when a mob of editors descends on an article or an AfD with the intent of circumventing it
