Jack Ford[edit]

The mayor of Toledo, Ohio. I'm not too familiar with him, and he gets Google hits, but I don't know if the mayor is all that notable. Aside from that, the article is one sentence long. Hedley 19:13, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, mayor of a decent-sized city. You might want to give things more than 3 minutes to grow before you take them "off to vfd". Kappa 19:20, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable Mayor. Klonimus 08:12, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Toledo is a city of over 300,000; Five wikipedia articles point to him; '"Jack ford" ohio' gets about 10,000 hits, '"Jack Ford" mayor' gets 9,000 hits. I think he counts as notable. — Asbestos | Talk 19:39, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Holy Toledo, let's keep this one. My city (population: 12,698 according to our article) shouldn't qualify its mayor to be in an encyclopedia just for being mayor, but Toledo certainly should. -- Jonel 19:50, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article, but it may need disambiguation: I think there are at least two Jack Fords who are more famous (Jack Ford, the son of President Gerald Ford, and Jack Ford, the TV commentator) - Nunh-huh 19:55, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A disambig would not be a bad idea, either. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:04, 2005 May 29 (UTC)
K Clearly notable, especially given his service in the Ohio legislature. Fawcett5 20:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but disambiguate. Rick K 21:36, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Mayor of reasonable size city and former member of the Ohio legislature. Disambiguation may be necessary. Capitalistroadster 02:32, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and disambiguate. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:31, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For reasons cited above. Even though my vote isn't needed here, every now and then it's nice to join a crowd that I agree with. ;) --Un focused 03:53, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a notable character, informative article! UkPaolo 16:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
