The subject is not notable. He has never held public office, no longer holds any college republican or state republican party positions and is currently a full-time student. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scholar58888888 (talk • contribs) 2008/11/29 00:06:26

 * Keep. Whether or not he held public office, he has received significant coverage in the newsmedia (see googlenews results, 80 hits, quite a few with specific and detailed coverage, e.g. ). The coverage is spread over the period of several years, so this is not a WP:NOT case. The fact that he is no longer actively involved in politics is not relevant per WP:NTEMP. Passes WP:BIO based on existing coverage. Nsk92 (talk) 03:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Even if the office does not make Hoplin inherently notable, his tenure got RS attention for causing controversy. He also has RS interest over time in what he has to say. • Gene93k (talk) 07:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep He's had a couple notable roles now. WOrth including. Article could use cleaning up. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
