Candidate for Congress - does not meet the GNG, and has never been elected to office or in other way yet meeting WP:POLITICIAN. Creator contested prod --Saalstin (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Insufficient coverage to meet the GNG and failure to meet any other WP:BIO criteria. He just declared his candidacy today. It's possible that he'll get enough coverage to become generally notable. My opinion is that wouldn't happen until at least next March, after the primary. Obviously, if he's elected to office 18 months from now, he may have an article then. (I have a secondary concern that, based on the tone of the current article text, it's being written by a campaign staffer, but that can be fixed through editing. My primary concern, the lack of notability, cannot be similarly overcome.) —C.Fred (talk) 23:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Enough sources to indicate notability. Rivkid007 (talk) 03:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC) — Rivkid007 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. A variety of reputable news sources have covered the announcement of his campaign. Also, the IL-10 is expected to be one of the most competitive and important congressional races of 2012, and is expected to be the most expensive congressional race ever. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2011/05/brad_schneider_running_in_illi.html

 * Delete per C.Fred Bgwhite (talk) 06:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is largely a WP:BLP1E issue. Almost all of the independent coverage is in relation to the election, not about Schneider in his own right. The race itself will quite high-profile, but coverage should largely be on the subpage, or better yet, on a separate article for just that election. If Schneider wins the primary, he'll have more coverage and might be notable as a top-level Democratic prospect. But right now, he's not. -LtNOWIS (talk) 00:28, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article has improved quite a bit and this subject has received primary coverage from Roll Call, the Daily Herald , and the Chicago Sun-Times (although it is a republished press release), and secondary coverage elsewhere. Neutralitytalk 07:06, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * But is that coverage significant coverage? The Roll Call link presents no information about Schneider, other than that he's running and quoting a comment he made about first-term Republican congressmen in Illinois. —C.Fred (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
