Duane Burghard

 * — (View AfD)

Failed political candidate, took only 36% of the vote in his only run. Non-notable small business owner otherwise. Montco 05:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep According to his website he is running for national office again in 2008, which makes the article of current interest. Allon Fambrizzi 06:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Allon Fambrizzi
 * Comment No its just that the person who wrote the article never updated after the election. No evidence he is running in 2008.  Montco 06:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you consider "evidence"? He says he is running again which means that, as of late 2006, he is campaigning for that seat. Allon Fambrizzi 07:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Allon Fambrizzi
 * Delete Being a candidate for a 2008 race still would not give any notariety, esp. w/ track record. SkierRMH, 07:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, one failure, in a safe seat for the other party, does not constitute notability. For what it is worth, the official campaign site linked to in the article says, in a message obviously posted on election night, that he will be running in 2008. So, as of election night, he intended to run again. --Brianyoumans 07:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 08:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete failure in election, unless done in an unusual manner, is not cause of notability.--Juju 11:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable failed election candidate. Ter e nce Ong 14:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable by virtue of being major-party nominee for Congress, regardless of future plans. JamesMLane t c 12:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per JamesMLane -- Steve Hart 13:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per JMLane, as well as numerous news hits on his name related to the election (qualifies under WP:BIO). | Mr. Darcy talk 22:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
