The result was   redirect to Arkansas gubernatorial election, 2014. Consensus is that the article fails the notability guidelines but a redirect is appropriate. Davewild (talk) 07:17, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Fails WP:POLITICIAN rather miserably. If he is elected, then he can have an article. Until then, or until he starts to get significant secondary coverage, it's simply too soon to have an article on him. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:RS, WP:POLITICIAN. At best (and that's a stretch) it's WP:TOOSOON. I am surprised this article was not nominated for Speedy Delete A7.--Jersey92 (talk) 01:44, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * None of the claims here satisfy WP:POLITICIAN: a person doesn't get a Wikipedia article for being a county sheriff, they don't get a Wikipedia article for being the mayor of a small town with a population in the hundreds, and they don't get a Wikipedia article for being a minor party candidate in an election that they haven't won yet. Furthermore, the article's only source is his own website, a primary source that cannot confer notability. No prejudice against recreation if he should win the election in November, but right now it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:16, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect- To Arkansas gubernatorial election, 2014, where he is already appropriately mentioned. Discrete search term not otherwise in use, for someone on whom we have mention in a notable topic. Restore if he's elected or becomes otherwise notable, displace once needed for someone else. Dru of Id (talk) 15:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete If Gilbert wins the race he will be notable clearly. However for now he is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:35, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment He was not even county sherrif, he was a constable in the county, they are not the same. That said, there are clearly some people who have done enough while sherrif to be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:37, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, sure, but that doesn't mean that all sheriffs automatically get to keep Wikipedia articles. Bearcat (talk) 18:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Dru – it seems likely that someone searching for this name will be well served by the mention in the election article. – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 00:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
