Talk:Edward O'Grady II

Untitled

No offensive to Edward Grady nor Waverly Brown but I don't believe them to be notable people. They were casualties of a notable robbery nothing more, the same goes for Peter Paige (secuity guard) who doesn't have a page. Being the youngest or first black cop at some local station + being killed in the line of duty isn't wiki worthy. There is a list of nearly 100 dead LA cops none of them have their own page.

• No offense to the above anonymous contributor from Brooklyn that in a single stroke wiped out the contributions of more than 15 other editors, but Wikipedia is (to my knowledge, at least in theory) intended to be a collaborative effort and these editors' efforts ought to be respected as such. If you felt that these 2 people were too insignificant for inclusion in Wikipedia, you should have posted that concern here with a date of posting and waited several months for comments or placed a deletion notice on the page itself, so that the other contributors would have a chance to counter your opinion with their own. That is traditionally how things are supposed to work in a democracy or even a collaborative work environment. So I have undone what you have done and restored their original work. Your redirect on the other article has already been undone some time ago by another editor... Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:10, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
