Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ira Brad Matetsky

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 no consensus. Numerically, opinions are divided, and there is no clearly prevailing side in terms of strength of argument. The issue is whether the subject's coverage in media sources makes him notable. Editors can disagree in good faith, as they do here, about whether a given quality and quantity of sources confers notability, and since this is a matter of editorial judgment, it's not something which I as closer can decide by fiat. The arguments on both sides pertaining to the subject's role as a Wikipedian are not relevant in terms of our applicable policies and guidelines, and they also don't matter much in closing this discussion because they more or less cancel each other out numerically.
