A fact from David J. Porter (politician) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Delete. This is 1. campaign literature 2. written by David J. Porter or his family/friends or 3. an article about a non-notable person. The sources are biased, possibly autobiography reprinted by someone. If there is such a thing as a non-notable public office, then I believe this man holds it. So he's a CPA? So he's got a family? If this article is to stay at all, then it should be 2-3 sentences in length: "David J. Porter holds insignificant office X. He was elected in ___, defeating candidate Y." So he was born while his father served in the military? Heavy editing or deletion needed. 75.46.92.50 (talk) 19:17, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
