Chicken John

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Self-Promotional, and not-notable outside of the "burning man community" and his own promotional affairs. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 14:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. He's gotten a fair amount of coverage (as a GNews search will reflect) and while much of it was for an unsuccessful mayoral run, e.g. that's not all, e.g..  I tend to think he qualifies as a notable activist/eccentric. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass GNG. Unsuccessful mayoral run does not meet wiki standards. Hillabear10 (talk) 17:13, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:POLITICIAN would suggest notability criteria is not met. On another note, the template on the page does not link to this AFD for some reason... Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 19:15, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete has not received enough significant coverage in reliable independent sources to warrant a page. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 01:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
