 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. As auditor, he passes WP:NPOL as a state-level officeholder, and in any event the GNG-qualifying coverage is myriad: see, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  09:41, 22 June 2021 (UTC) Keep. State Auditor is a statewide elected office (now renamed State Controller). Wright was elected State Auditor three times. Also twice a candidate for Governor, once a major party nominee. Pages of statewide elected officials other than Governor are commonplace. I recently updated this page to include his role in a historic political event in 1974 when a Congressman was revealed to not be filing income tax returns for several years. Also the seminal litigation Wright v. Callahan on constitutional offices of state officials was embellished to include the extent of the case being cited in nine different states in the past eight decades in subsequent decisions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrunelle (talk • contribs) 05:19, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment If people want us to keep this article they should add reliable sources. Find a grave is not a reliable source, and verifiability means we should not keep articles without reliable sources. Without a reliable source how can we even know he was really state auditor. If people find a source they should add it to the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:17, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep on further review I see some of the sources were added to the article. I would still like to see much better citation style for these sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The article does meet WP:GNG – and, importantly, also WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer  T · C  15:44, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep: Statewide elected officials are notable, per WP:NPOL. Curbon7 (talk) 21:55, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
