Chris Miller (West Virginia politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable former political candidate. No in-depth coverage outside of his gubernatorial campaign, no real claim to notability. All campaign-related coverage of him is fairly WP:ROTM stuff that you would expect of someone running for governor. Now that his campaign is over, I can't imagine very many people will be searching for him. I'd support a redirect to 2024 West Virginia gubernatorial election.

 * Lean delete. His unsuccessful candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor is not all that notable, although his ownership of several automobile dealerships (not just Kia) has made his television ads rather ubiquitous (and somewhat amusing, IMO) throughout the region for a number of years.  I doubt that there is enough coverage in the news besides his political candidacy to demonstrate notability, however.  I'm not certain of this, and would be perfectly satisfied if anyone can produce additional evidence of notability.  But just owning the dealerships and having thrown his hat into the ring for the Republican nomination (in a particularly nasty campaign season in West Virginia) does not seem like enough.

 * Delete and redirect: as a West Virginia resident myself, I can attest to the fact that Chris Miller has not gained hardly any notability even in his own state; let alone on a scale sufficient for a Wikipedia article. I would support deleting and adding a redirect to 2024 West Virginia gubernatorial election. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 18:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Follow up: the only thing about Chris Miller that MIGHT be in any way notable (on a local/regional scale mind you) is those Dutch Miller commercials that are constantly on the airwaves all over the state. But even then; it’s the company (Dutch Miller Automotive) that might be notable in that case; not necessarily the person running it (Chris Miller). I still reiterate my support for deletion here. Although I wouldn’t be opposed to someone creating an article about the Dutch Miller car dealerships though. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 05:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
