Struggling to find any independent sourcing for this individual. As a "politician", he is a failed candidate who does not meet WP:NPOL; as a journalist, he has not received coverage seperate from the publisher he works for. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:03, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lacks support for notability. Failed candidate that fails WP:POLITICIAN.  red dogsix (talk) 19:35, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Knight is so not notable the article does not even specify which congressional district he ran in when he was trounced in the election.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:14, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections, 1996. Unlikely to be other "David L. Knight"s so no concern about "parking" on someone else's notability, redirects are cheap (cheaper than deletion, in fact), and having a redirect present makes it less likely that somebody will go "oh, a redlink!" and recreate the article. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:49, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
