Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brendan Burke
Per above.  I just looked through G-News archive myself (for articles ''before'' January) and it's damned scanty.  I see nothing in  or  stating that "being publically gay" is a ''prima facie'' notability pass, and given OTINHERITED, there's nothing in Burke's CV that would earn him independent notability were it not for having a well-known father.  I strongly recommend that some of the Keep proponents take the time to read the pertinent policies and guidelines which define notability; it is a common fallacy on Wikipedia to define "notability" as "I think the guy's important."  That being said, I find the catcalling about bigotry reprehensible and disgusting.  Strange though it may seem to some people - and I would certainly have liked to think better of registered editors - it's perfectly possible to apply Wikipedia policy and guidelines to articles without having an axe to grind, and furthermore there are actually editors who do so
