- Keep per WP:NPOL: Duffey is presumed notable because
[p]oliticians … who have held … state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels
are presumed notable. He also got some media coverage due to a disputed election in 1902, which I just added. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:45, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I was looking for more information on this Duffey, but got distrated inproving the article on Gordon W. Duffy. I wish people would at least find a little more information before making articles, like at least some dates. People should not feel such a rush to create articles. However i understand the reasons some do, and this person is clearly passing our notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
