Non-notable local politician. Ran for a minor post, and didn't win. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:17, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

The Georgia Public Service Commission is voted on statewide along with the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, etc. Is currently exploring running again in 2018 (this office is a six year term). Comparable pages: Tim Echols, currently holds this office; John Monds, did not win, but previously set the record in Georgia before David. The "notable" link from WikiDan61 includes: "3. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". There are plenty of reliable sources independent of the article that will be included shortly. Just didn't have all the time in the world when initially creating the article.  :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TalkGA (talk • contribs) 21:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable losing candidate who fails WP:POLITICIAN. We can't evaluate claimed sources that are not in the article or linked here, but if they are routine coverage of a losing candidate, they are insufficient to be establish notability.
