Proposed deletion of Ricky Gill


The article Ricky Gill has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

Ricky Gill
Hi -- I saw you removed the PROD tag on Ricky Gill. Per [WP:POLITICIAN] just being a candidate for public office doesn't meet the notability standard, nor does a smattering of local and niche news coverage. While I recognize that you're acting in good faith, I am going to go ahead and propose deletion anyhow. You are certainly welcome to voice your concerns there.
