Nominated for deletion - October 2012

Being the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee may have regional notability, but this is going a bit overboard. From what I can tell, this fails WP:N guidelines since the individual in question is "famous" (perhaps regionally, at least) for just one thing - being the mayor of the third-or-fourth-largest town in one of the nation's smaller states. If she manages to get elected Governor like the previous mayor did, then it's a different story, but at present I fail to see how the subject merits a Wikipedia article. Sidatio (talk) 17:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She is the city's first female mayor, and has received significant coverage from independent sources. Do we need to take this AfD? Bms4880 (talk) 17:32, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. It doesn't seem at present that a civil conversation on this article's merits can be had given the appearance of ownership issues. It's not intended to be a slight against you, Rogero or Brown, after all. We've all had articles we thought had merit that got deleted. It's nothing personal. :-) I assume I'll have to be the one to do that, then? Sidatio (talk) 17:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Sources - everything appears regional. Metro Pulse, KNS, UTK's newspaper... to a letter, every source cited is a regional one. Does any of this article's "significant coverage" extend outside of the region? If so, I'd wholeheartedly recommend adding them to help bolster your argument to keep this. Sidatio (talk) 17:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A minor comment here perhaps but I was looking specifically for this information today. I'm pleased I found it. This is Wikipedia doing its job. I've never been to America, I needed to know about Madeline Rogero and Wikipedia provided exactly the detail I was searching for. The idea that "regional interest" should be a bar to maintaining an article should be countered. Most articles could be attacked as "single interest" too, if you stand back far enough.
