Vol Dooley

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

not significant and detailed coverage needed per WP:POLITICIAN John from Idegon (talk) 18:15, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I see no evidence that AfD volunteers are needed here. The article has references and inline citations, an infobox, a portal, and templates that show the previous and successor sheriff. The article was on Wikipedia for less than 24 hours before this nomination, and there is no attempt at discussion on the talk page. The article was well-developed at the time of nomination, and has since doubled in size. Unscintillating (talk) 03:18, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"has references and inline citations" does not equal WP:NOTABLE. CombatWombat42 (talk) 20:25, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No notability outside of Bossier Parish, very questionable national or international notability. CombatWombat42 (talk) 20:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sources include Chicago Tribune article on Louisiana politics, two other newspaper articles, a radio station report, television station news report. The article also incorporates material on the murder of Mr. Dooley's son, which attracted national television attention. Dooley's role in the Jack Favor case is also covered. Many on Wikipedia with articles may be concentrated mostly in one county. Bossier Parish is the second largest in northwest Louisiana.Billy Hathorn (talk) 22:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC) (author)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. None of the references seem to be about him as the primary topic. For example, the Chicago Tribune article (which isn't linked properly in the reference) only says he doesn't agree with a poll. Fails WP:GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The link to the Chicago Tribune has been corrected. There is also a book source. Billy Hathorn (talk) 23:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A couple of sentences and a photo in a book about the parish. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:29, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additional material found. Mr. Dooley himself appeared in 2011 in Sins and Secrets on the Discovery Channel. Two new newspaper sources have been added or clarified: another Shreveport Times and the Magnolia Reporter. The book reference is about his expertise in fingerprinting before he was sheriff and contains his picture at the time. Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC) (author)[reply]
