New article on Philip Dorling[edit]

I started a new article on Brereton's former assistant, Philip Dorling. If anyone knows of worthy content to add, please have a look! --Surturz (talk) 13:10, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he'd fail WP:N as he was not elected to public office. Orderinchaos 15:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm not sure on WP:N. If it were just the one raid, I'd say sure, delete the entry. Two raids... I'm not sure. Other staffers such as Mark Textor have articles, so I don't think being elected is the sole criteria. Ideally, someone will come up with something additional to establish WP:N. The two raids and nothing else is borderline notability... the info revealed was no great watergate level revelation, I assume. --Surturz (talk) 23:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
