Duplicate of User:Drezac's user page. I'm also unsure of the notability of write-in candidates, and the author's username raises some vanity concerns. Still, I'm hesitant to speedy this. --Alan Au 09:30, 29 October 2005 (UTC) (Nomination moved back to top of page. Please do not post comments or votes above the nomination; it makes it hard for people to see the original reason for nomination for deletion. Put all discussion and votes at the end of this page, or else underneath comments you are directly responding to. MCB)
 * Addition. Hey guys, sorry about the appearance of "vanity"; the apparent obscurity; and the apparency of a deliberate "Point-of-View (POV?)".  The story is legit and the candidates were registered in virtually every state with the Secretary of State's offices (those states which allow "write-in candidates") as can be seen at:

The above are just a few of the 8,600+ references on the 'net which prove the legitimacy of the publication. For a "non-biased" group, you guys are pretty quick to declare something a hoax or a fraud and do a poor job of research given that the candidates are registered on dozens of government websites as given above, which is all the more reason why the article should be in the wikipedia.

However, maybe this article should be represented on the wikipedia under another topic and refined as more of a research article. We would be open to suggestions. Our campaign staff is still learning the "wikipedia" forum and would like to have this article posted similar to "Patrick Fitzgerald", which is the format we followed. The original user's page (drezac) was created as a means to access the wiki and publish the "profile" of this Vp candidate. The "source watch" issue is because we are still learning your system and followed the Patrick Fitzgerald format.

John Joseph Kennedy was the candidate who ran for President, is a direct descendant of Francis Michael Kennedy (first Kennedy in U.S. politics who served as a Congressman in South Carolina House of Reps in 1882-1886), is related to the Kennedys of Boston, and is running for 2008 (see www.johnjosephkennedy.com), so we know this will become even more newsworthy as time goes by. We have a national campaign staff of hundreds of members (required in order to have electors and register in all of the states). If you want us to prove it, give me your phone number and we can have over 100 people call you in a matter of minutes since we do weekly conference calls with all of the staff.

We published it under different article names (Daniel Robert Rezac, Dan Rezac, Daniel R Rezac, and Daniel Rezac) because your search engine does not pull it up unless it is an "identical" match and we don't care to have it under the login name of "Drezac", which is why it is identical to the user homepage. We apologize if we have fumbled it up. We are still learning your system. We can clean it up and put it under one article name (preferably "Daniel Robert Rezac" and redirect the others to this one) if you give us the chance to make the correction and still allow it to be posted on the wiki.

 * Delete. Many of the links were bogus, and there is much POV about a real, if obscure, write in candidate from the 2004 US presidential race. Not a speedy, but not a keeper either. --Fire Star 09:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, apparant hoax. Sourcewatch article(s) do not exist. If it's not a hoax it's at least &#123;{TotallyDisputed}}. Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 09:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete If not a hoax, then vanity that reads like a resume or brochure: "Rezac married his college sweetheart, Lenore, on September 21, 2002 in the beautiful outdoor settings of the floral "sunken" gardens in Lincoln, Nebraska." etc Indium 10:34, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable or hoax. None of the members of the famous Kennedy family ran for president in 2004 as a write-in candidate with this person as their vice-presidential candidate. --Metropolitan90 16:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote withdrawn for now; apparently he did run as a write-in candidate for vice president, but his running mate was just someone named Kennedy and not a member of the famous Kennedy political family. --Metropolitan90 23:59, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as above. Lincolnite 16:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. MCB 00:12, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
