Cherilyn Eagar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable candidate for party nomination for election to U.S. Senate seat. Does not appear to have any significant coverage nor does candidate appear to have held political office previously; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. Frank |  talk  18:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect to United States Senate election in Utah, 2010 as required by the "general rule" in WP:POLITICIAN. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I'm inclined to agree that even though Eager doesn't warrant an article (yet—she would if she won office or garnered significant news coverage beyond just her candidacy), she's a likely search term, so having this be a link to the senate race article, as Mkativerata suggested, is the best course for now. —C.Fred (talk) 01:22, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. This race, Utah 2010 Senate race, has been listed as a top 10 inter-party races in the US by more than one group. Eagar is the only woman in the race. Other candidates for this same race are listed in Wikipedia. Eagar has been listed in the top 3 challengers to Bob Bennett by Club for Growth, Redstate.com, Independence Caucus, and received the endorsement of the Utah Republican Assembly, Glenn Kimber of the Thomas Jefferson Center, and Phyllis Schlafly, founder of the National Eagle Forum and first lady of the conservative movement, among others.   IF after May 8, 2010 she doesn't make it out of the Utah GOP Convention, deleting this entry or changing it from a politician might make sense. If she does, it would make national if not international news.  While it is true that we have editors for this article using a biased article as reference for what I believe to be inaccurate sections, I believe the article as a whole is appropriate. She is a former teacher featured in Sean Hannity’s book Let Freedom Ring for successfully calling into question the American Red Cross’ “religious and political neutrality” policy. She has been active in conservative causes for 30 years.  --Archf 1 (talk) 16:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: I recommend keeping Tim Bridgewater, Cherilyn Eagar, and Michael S. Lee until May 8, 2010 and then re-evaluating them at that time. --Archf 1 (talk) 17:07, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not how notability works on Wikipedia. Please see WP:NOTTEMP. Frank  |  talk  17:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * (indented by Frank, as this is a response to previous comment) One of the reasons I recommend keeping these 3 is that they are in a notable and nationally covered US Senate Race. IF they were not in the race, they might not meet the requirements. Redstate.com and Club for Growth, along with the Tea Party movement make this worth including. She has made news such as  --Archf 1 (talk) 04:30, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * And can you find something in either WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN that supports the assertion that being "in a notable and nationally covered US Senate race" confers notability on an individual? Keep in mind, this is a primary candidate; she's never held elective office before. Frank  |  talk  17:39, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
