The result was Keep. The sources found by King of Hearts establish a measure of notability. Although she is only a county represenative, Vartanza is right in saying that the county she represents makes her notable. Because the county in question is a New York Metropolitan county (and therefore much larger and more notable), this increases Yatauro's notability. Malinaccier (talk) 00:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taking to AfD instead of speedy; the article has been created 4 times, and was deleted as promotional/non-neutral, so AfD lets us G4 it in the future if it's deleted, and lets us preserve the article if neutral editors get involved. - Dank (push to talk) 23:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions where is the obvious non-neutrality or discussion about it? What is the proposed reason for deletion? Drawn Some (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Answer On May 28, 2008 the editor Vitadellocalcio wrote " This page provides a background on Diane Yatauro. This page has been reviewed and approved by Diane." Article was deleted three times. After the deletion on May 28, 2008 the same editor recreated the article with the same content and did the same on August 17. The specific editor so far was edits only in this article + an uploaded photo of Diane Yatauro + the addition of a link to her article. -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Unless I'm mistaken about WP:Politician, first level sub-national (New York State) political office includes "members of a legislature and judges." This is a New York state Representative. It's an explicit category under WP:Politician. Shadowjams (talk) 07:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I misread the lead and understood her as a state rep, and not as a local rep. I withdraw any comment on the AfD. Shadowjams (talk) 07:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As someone who used to live in Nassau County, this is an important position, comparable (although obviously not identical) to being city council president of a major city. not all presiding officers of all counties are inherently notable, but the counties in the NYC metro area are large and powerful. More sourcing is needed and should be easy to find - Vartanza (talk) 05:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - wholly unreferenced BLP, no significant press coverage, clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN. Delete and salt until she does something notable. لenna vecia 13:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - A Google News search and Google News Archives search turn up multiple sources. Some of them are trivial, but others are quite significant coverage. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
