Bert Mizusawa

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

An article about a candidate for a nomination in Virgina with a classic case of WP:COI. Only real editors are the people he is paying to promote him by creating this article. Rohedin TALK 20:50, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I'm responding to this correctly, but I hope you do not delete the Bert Mizusawa article. I'm a volunteer trying to help out, and don't know how else to create a wiki page without using the information from the campaign. I'm happy to re-do, but would love some guidance! (I'm new at this!) Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Va02GOP (talk • contribs) 20:57, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

 * (no opinion) The claim of "one of the Army’s most highly decorated officers" is over the top but his Silver Star citation is impressive. It has been mentioned in Joint Security Area for years. East of Borschov (talk) 21:00, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not realize that the nominator supports Soviet Communism, so the Korean argument quite likely worked agains Mr. Mizusawa. But I would like to see evidence of the money paid as stated in the nomination. East of Borschov (talk) 21:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * possibly notable, but a severe COI case; this is also not new text; an almost identical posting appears at: http://www.warriortown.com/3/miscellaneous3.htm. Speedy delete as copyvio unless someone comes up with a neutral non-copyvio rewrite. Hairhorn (talk) 21:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete copyright permission is claimed, so that's not a reason for deletion. But the text can;t be used anyway without considerable rewriting, for as observed, it's extremely promotional. I;d normally simply rewrite, but I see no sign he's notable; he will be, in my opinion, if her wins the Republic nomination but not otherwise.  DGG ( talk ) 22:03, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable, with coverage in google news and google books. (Note that many matches in google books do not show in the above find sources links because he has a middle initial:, Reduce text to what is sourceable from the reliable sources cited. -- JN  466  15:19, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Happy to see it re-created if he wins the nomination and the full election. Codf1977 (talk) 16:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Codf1977. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Conditional keep: I'd say that he has the notability to keep per WP:MILPEOPLE (and possibly as a political candidate), but the COI, POV, and just horribly advertorial writing needs to be corrected, or my vote shifts to Delete. Serious work is needed.  bahamut0013  words deeds 18:03, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Conditional keep: go with bahamut0013, person notable, article poor. Dewritech (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice or stubify - I think that the individual is notable (for his military service, not particularly for participating in a 6-way primary). I think that it should be stubbed and written by someone not from his campaign, though. (Full disclosure: I live in Virginia, though not in his district.  I had never heard of him, though, and I usually think of myself as politically aware.  I didn't have a particular preference in the primary, though I considered essentially a done deal that Scott Rigell would win it.) --B (talk) 22:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
