Plaque in Berkeley City Hall
editI no longer live in California, but I remember that old City Hall (2134 Grove Street, now Martin Luther King, Jr, Boulevard, between Allston and Center Streets) had a plaque honoring Chief Kenney, which is how I first knew about him. Perhaps an editor who's closer to Old City Hall could check the plaque and if warranted add a brief mention or picture to the article. —— Shakescene (talk) 19:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Notability?
editI've tagged for notability but want to say more here. This is an interesting case of someone who apparently did things which, if those things are memorialized in appropriate sources, would probably make him notable for WP purposes. And yet one can imagine that, perhaps unfairly, such sources might not exist beyond the newspaper obit already cited. I really don't know if that would be enought for WP:N. It's interesting to contrast August Vollmer who, for all we know, wasn't that much more innovative in his field than Kenney was in his, but who certainly got much more coverage -- which is what counts. Additional sources in the Kenney article would resolve this dilemma. EEng (talk) 20:54, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
