Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dentler Erdmann
The main, and real, claim to notability is that he was the 1975 California Teacher of the Year. This fact is confirmed by the reliable source already given in the articlehttp://www.ccsso.org/projects/National_Teacher_of_the_Year/State_Teachers/1975/. A googlenews search also quickly yields this 1974 article in Los Angeles Times about Erdmann receiving the award.http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/601150232.html?dids=601150232:601150232&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&date=Nov+04%2C+1974&author=&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=L.A.+Teacher+Chosen+State's+Best&pqatl=google. However, I was not able to find any significant coverage beyond that and no other newscoverage. While the award is reasonably significant (especially given the size of California, both in terms of population and area, which makes it bigger than many countries), I don't think it is sufficiently significant to justify having a stand-alone article about Erdmann, especially in the absence of wider coverage. Based on the coverage available appears to fall short of passing . Perhaps the thing to do here is to create an article about the California Teacher of the Year award and redirect this entry there
