Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Greer
Should be merged into Terri Schiavo and replaced with a redirect, since Greer's only claim to notability was his ruling in the Schiavo case. Michael Schiavo does not have his own page (the link redirects to Terri Schiavo), nor do Bob and Mary Schindler (ditto). There are thousands of local circuit court judges in the United States, and simply ruling on a single noteworthy case shouldn't be enough to qualify for a solo article. 63.173.114.141 01:53, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. We already have articles on judges who are merely notable for being judges. This judge actually is notable. Gamaliel 02:13, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. To me this raises the issue of categorizing people who have a lot of small things going for notability... here is someone who is the presiding judge in a cause celebre, and a former legislative officer in the governing body of a fairly large city, and once roomed with Jim Morrison, albiet briefly... to me the big thing plus the curious details add up to a keep. -- 8^D BDAbramsongab 02:41, 2005 Apr 2 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Terri Schiavo. There was no need to go to VfD to do this, by the way. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:55, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - Seconding Gamaliels comments: Clearly a notable government official regardless of how he gained this notariety(sic).
- Keep Judges in notable cases are themselves notable. Klonimus 03:24, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. —Markaci 2005-04-2 T 05:10 Z
- Keep - He is a central firgure in a very controversial case. It should be noted that there is a wikipedia article on Lance Ito, the O.J. Simpson case judge. - permanentblue
- Improperly signed. Page history says: 67.173.188.6 (talk · contributions) 06:08, 2005 Apr 2
- Strong Keep as independent article and expand. He didn't simply rule on the case, he lived it for close to a decade, with substantial media attention to his role and substantial infamy among those who disagreed. The article needs to document and explain his rulings, what his own contribution to the case was, what effect it had on him, i.e., the death threats, etc; having all that in the Terri Schiavo article would either reduce it to mere summary or make her article even more unwieldy than it already is.

- Speedy Keep and Expand, but use caution, we want to avoid making it a POV fork. --Kitch 14:56, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. N-Man 00:36, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- KEEP Deletion? are you kidding me? all U.S. federal judges should have a wikipedia article. Kingturtle 23:32, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Greer's a Florida state court trial judge, not a federal judge. Postdlf 00:39, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
