Charles Aldrich (Libertarian)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Per WP:POLITICIAN. Non-notable minor party candidate. Any relevant coverage is predominantly election related trivia or self pub. Tagged for notability since November 2008. AngoraFish  木  11:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unelected, no notable coverage. WP:POLITICIAN is quite clear. I42 (talk) 11:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for the same reasons given by I42; WP:POLITICIAN and the general notability guidelines means if you weren't elected and don't have other independent coverage for something you have done then your article can go. Ironholds (talk) 13:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Per NYT as his number of votes was vastly greater than any margin of victory.  This is one of those rare cases where a "loser" has had a great impact -- one does not need to win to be notable in such a case.  The political history of the Aldrich family is substantial - and should add notability if anything.  Collect (talk) 12:10, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2008. The information presented in the article is verifiable (per Collect) and notable information about the 2008 Senate election. However, the subject is only notable for one event and thus the information should be merged to the main article. -Atmoz (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:N, it's better to trust the judgement of professional information sources than J. Random Wikipedian. Wily D 14:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per ONEEVENT and WP:Politician. --Cameron Scott (talk) 14:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per Atmoz; not notable in his own right, just another WP:ONEEVENT happenstance. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:16, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
