Chad Koppie
Non-notable politician. Delete Atrian 01:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Never held office, never made waves, sounds non-notable to me. --InShaneee 03:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete NN --Dysepsion 04:29, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep You don't need to hold office to be notable. This guy ran for govoner.  That makes him far more notable than some other people in wikipedia.  Tobyk777 07:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the article is expanded and sources are cited. I know of a couple of candidates for the Presidency, but that doesn't make them notable automatically - after all, these fellows weren't even on the ballot. Koppie ran in the primary, not the election itself, and his campaigns for the Senate didn't make much waves - being a 3rd-party candidate is hardly notable. This article by a Koppie supporter indicates his gubernatorial campaign was not covered widely by the media. Indeed, Google gives him only 65 hits, though in all fairness, his campaign was before the Google Era. The only real claim to notability made by the article, however, is the "vivid Pro-life / Anti-abortion ads" his campaigns ran. If sources can be cited for this, consider my vote a strong keep. Otherwise, I see no reason to keep. Johnleemk | Talk 11:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Johnleemk Mushintalk 17:18, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete multiple losing candidate with no other notable claims. There may be other other less notable people in Wikipedia and they also should be deleted and probably will be eventually. Crunch 00:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Running in an election does not make someone notable. I wouldn't consider the National Barking Spider Resurgence candidate for the 2004 U.S. Presidential election to be notable. Heck, maybe someone voted for me :-) Delete unless he held a verifiable -- and notable -- public post. Grandmasterka 04:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tobyk777. New Progressive 05:23, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. While I won't venture to vote on this one, note that this politician was defeated in the primary in the only notable race he participated in. N Shar 19:26, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment a source for the "vivid and graphic pro-life / anti abortion ads" claim is The Washington Post--Tdl1060 21:57, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
