 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The first AfD of this article just closed as "no consensus", because it was a multi-article AfD which made it harder to get a clear decision. This person has no claim to notability outside of being a faithless elector in the 2016 presidential election. This is the definition of WP:BLP1E. It was created due to WP:RECENTISM and fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:23, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Faithless electors in the United States presidential election, 2016. Timothy Joseph Wood  19:27, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge or Redirect to the faithless 2016 electors article. I voted "weak keep" in the previous, multi-Afd, but, looking at the coverage, there isn't enough to support verifiable content about Mulinix as an individual. All discussion of him is strictly about this one event.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 19:35, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This is just plain one event notability. Being a US elector is not a position of notability, faithless of otherwise. Everything we need to know about him can be included in the article on faithless electors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:39, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I am striking my previous vote to merge or redirect the article. Mulinix is notable for other reasons. Back in 2007, there was a short article in The Honolulu Advertiser about him taking a position at Bishop Museum]. He also received national coverage via the Associated Press in an article about some of the US electors. Note that this was four days before the College met in Hawaii, and Mulinix at the time planned to vote for Clinton. Regarding Mulinix's vote for Sanders, he's received some coverage of him as an individual in The Hawaii Independent. In addition to these three stories, he's gotten some minor note through the years for his activism:, , , .-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 00:28, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Additional minor coverage and mentions regarding his activism: (includes discussion of Mulinix's Dakota heritage),, .-- 3family6  ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 00:37, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You're not kidding when you say "minor" coverage. I don't think those sources add much of anything to notability. They confirm he exists, and that he's a member of 350.org, but don't cover him to the point of establishing GNG. I don't think image captions count as coverage. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No, those additional findings of mine do not help toward notability, which is why I didn't claim that they did.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 05:32, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as creator and per 3Family6. MB298 (talk) 01:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Despite the awe some people feel about the President electors, they are in fact pretty normal every day people and in fact there is often an effort to make sure that they are ordinary to avoid someone significant or politically powerful from becoming an elector. For this reason, subject fails notability and is known for a single event. -O.R.Comms 17:42, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per 3Family6's findings. The previous deletions implied that he was only notable of one event (when he was known before the 2016 election). Yoshiman6464 (talk) 15:01, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as nothing at all actually convincing apart from the simple information and the events themselves, which absolutely inherit him no automatic notability whatsoever, regardless of the news involved. SwisterTwister   talk  07:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Faithless electors in the 2016 American Presidential election as per the suggestion at the previous AfD. This is history.  BLP1E is not an argument to delete, it is an argument to merge.  Same for BIO1E.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:59, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
