Page?

Does Finegold deserve a page, or is this simply an ad for his run for Congress? Soryy, forgot to sign this lat time.Mwinog2777 (talk) 23:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well he is a real person and other state reps have pages and none of them are running for higher office Gang14 02:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. sign your posts just add 4 of these ~

I would take page out. He has failed in attempt for higher office. Nothing he has done warrants a page. The page seems like nothing more than a campaigning tool.Mwinog2777 (talk) 17:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Public service section

This section only has two sources, one of which is from the candidate website. Reads like a PR page, and was created almost entirely by page's original author. Deleted info that was lifted almost word-for-word from Finegold's own bio page in accordance with WP:SPS criteria. I think we can do much better with news sources.
