WP:BLP and more general notability concerns. Negative biography stub of a GOP activist and accused embezzler in a recent political scandal. No apparent claim of general interest before this one, yet-to-be-proven event, failing WP:NOT. • Gene93k (talk) 13:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article doesnt show the =national impact, but Google News does, and I've added stories to the article from the NYT and the Washington Post. BLP isnt relevant: there are excellent sources, and his career is quite possibly notable beforehand.   DGG (talk) 14:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I know how big the scandal is. It takes more than a single burst of news to establish notability and until he is convicted, BLP applies. This is a premature-at-best BIO1E. • Gene93k (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Although the position of treasurer at the NRCC (or DCCC) would not normally be notable, the fact of a significant embezzlement from one of these committees is not only newsworthy but historic. --Dhartung | Talk 21:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
