{{AFC comment|1=Passes [[WP:NPOL]] as a former member of the House of Delegates, but {{u|Chris troutman}}'s comments on tone are the reason for my decline.

Any lawyer or legal professional makes contributions to the legal and judicial landscape of WV, that doesn't make them notable enough for a wikipedia article. It just serves to seem like a way to make the subject of the article seem more important than they really are. Other pieces here fall into the "who cares?" category. Why is it relevant to the reader's understanding of Greear that he is a football official or a deacon? If he's notable for being a judge and political official, then the focus of the article should be on that. [[User:Bkissin|Bkissin]] ([[User talk:Bkissin|talk]]) 23:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)}} |
