Frank Di Giorgio[edit]

Factual accuracy issues aside, is this former high school teacher notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? If yes, why? 89 unique matches on google. [1] --GRider\talk 22:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, and how is the accuracy in question? - SimonP 23:20, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • As you are aware, this article has been substantially improved since the original listing on VfD. It contained sentences such as "He ran again in the 2000 Toronto election is a battle with convicted criminal Mario Gentile.", an invalid name categorization, and other such accuracy-related issues, all of which are addressed in the article history log. --GRider\talk 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • How the issue is worded may be potentially POV, but it's a matter of historical record that Gentile was convicted of a crime (see here.) It is not, as such, an accuracy issue. And I fail to see anything that fits into what you allege to be an "invalid name categorization" or any other such issue where facts have been changed. Would you care to explain further?

  • Keep --Spinboy 02:34, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Appears notable for involvement in local government of a major city. Keep. JFW | T@lk 02:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia is not paper and Toronto city councillors are notable enough. --Deathphoenix 06:37, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, as per all Toronto city councillors. Please consolidate nominations--it makes it easier to vote. Meelar (talk) 07:31, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • Good idea, Meelar. Saves people from repeating the same arguments over and over. Radiant! 11:48, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and for crying out loud please do NOT consolidate nominations. I fucking hate that, and extremely so. Oh, and Wikipedia is not paper so please cease these time wasting exercises if you don't mind. —RaD Man (talk) 07:41, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Per consensus at Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Local politicians, merge local politicians unless they have done something exceptional beyond being elected. Radiant! 09:41, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • This is not a stub article, and so deserves to be kept under the criteria, as per Kevintoronto's comment. Meelar (talk) 18:50, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
      • I felt the information in there (that he was a teacher and that he lost two earlier elections) wasn't all that informative. From the article it seems he hasn't done anything notable other than being elected. Radiant! 11:48, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
        • True, but the key point in this was "non-stub article". While this information may seem unimportant to you, that's not necessarily true for all readers, and the overriding fact is that we have, right now, a decent article about this person. Meelar (talk) 07:09, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is not a stub. Kevintoronto 14:43, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
