Darren Campbell (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject is sheriff of a modest community of 165,000. PROD removed by SPA. Article created by a number of SPAs - some of the usernames would indicate COI. He has numerous Google results, but they are mainly local news of his election as sheriff, as well as passing comments he has made, in his role as sheriff, about local crimes (example - somewhat like a spokesperson). But appears to lack in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. I would be interested in input from U.S. Wikipedians more familiar with the occupation of sheriff. Maybe I am missing something.

 * Delete as there's simply not even enough for minimally better notability. SwisterTwister   talk  21:30, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * County sheriff is not an office that confers an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL; while a sheriff can get into Wikipedia if the available volume of reliable source coverage vaults him over WP:GNG, it is not a position where any sheriff gets an automatic inclusion freebie just because he exists. But the level of coverage here is not sufficient, and even the article itself has very little substance to it beyond a cursory statement that he exists (almost half of it is actually a WP:COATRACK about the sheriff's office rather than being about him.)
