Shawn O'Connor
Your new article Shawn O'Connor is going to be deleted. Any new article about a living person must be notable and proved to be notable with inline references. You should learn to do those things for Shawn O'Connor or any other living person. Better yet, make sure your article has WikiLinks and a complete talk page. Otherwise, deletion is going to happen. You can reply to me right here on your talk page.--DThomsen8 (talk) 21:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand why this page is being deleted. I thought Shawn should have a page because he is mentioned in two other Wikipedia articles as a potential candidate for US Senate or Representative from New Hampshire. I then found that he is a Forbes columnist, US News columnist, CEO of a company in which a major private equity firm invested. Did I do something wrong in setting up the page. There are other references that I did not include like www.draftshawnnh.org which is a group of people who are apparently encouraging Shawn to run against Frank Guinta or Kelly Ayotte. Most of the other candidates mentioned in those Wikipedia articles had Wikipedia pages and given Shawn's notable work it seemed like he should too (vs. some people who are just like a city councilman in a small city). Please let me know if I messed something up.
