Comment: Passes WP:NPOL as a former member of the House of Delegates, but Chris troutman's comments on tone are the reason for my decline. There are several sentences here that are puffery but say nothing, like the lead (SUBJECT) is a legal professional who has made contributions to the legal and judicial landscape in West Virginia. Any lawyer or legal professional makes contributions to the legal and judicial landscape of WV, that doesn't make them notable enough for a wikipedia article. It just serves to seem like a way to make the subject of the article seem more important than they really are. Other pieces here fall into the "who cares?" category. Why is it relevant to the reader's understanding of Greear that he is a football official or a deacon? If he's notable for being a judge and political official, then the focus of the article should be on that. Bkissin (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree that the subject, who was a general counsel and a chief of staff, qualifies as Template:Tq is only for quoting in talk and project pages. Do not use it in actual articles. as the subject was never elected. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Chris troutman: I'm going from the sentence Additionally, he served in the West Virginia House of Delegates, representing Kanawha County during 1995 to 1996.Bkissin (talk) 20:50, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Bkissin: You got me there... I should have read more closely. Subject passes NPOL on that. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Subject fails WP:NPOL and WP:ANYBIO. The content provided and the tone make this read like a glowing endorsement, which is inappropriate. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
