Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lon Horiuchi

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. As this is BLP-related, an explanation may be necessary: WP:BLP1E gives examples of one event as "(a) relatively unimportant crime or for standing for governmental election". Arguments are made that Horiuchi would fall under this criteria. Arguments are also made that further newsworthy events such as appearances before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the topic of multiple Ninth Circuit rulings, at least 3 New York Times articles and so on would suggest BLP1E is not applicable. These arguments are more convincing. If there are BLP-related issues within the article, edit them out. Possible vandalism is not a reason for deletion. Neıl ☎ 16:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
