Frank Roche (International Banker)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No evidence this person is notable as defined by WP:GNG or WP:BIO. No evidence of reliable sources about this Frank Roche (there are several other Frank Roche's out there with reliable sources) in either google news or a straight google search. His only claim to notability is as a candidate for congress; but merely being a candidate does not confer notability in absense of reliable sources. Candidates may of course be notable for something else, but this guy does not appear to be so... Jayron  32  20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC) I will add news sources confirming his notability BTNemeth (talk) 21:02, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, as it sits, this would have been speediable, I'd think. Delete, unless sourced by independent sources to indicate notability.  Friday (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is absolutely 100% not speedyable. It makes claims that its subject is important, such as as a candidate for congress.  That is a clear claim of importance, and as such speedy deletion is not an option.  Now, the claim of importance may not qualify the subject as notable, but that has nothing to do with the speedy deletion criteria.  Speedy deletion for articles of this type is typically reserved for people writing articles about their buddy who sits next to them in english class, not for articles like this.  -- Jayron  32  02:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete (per WP:POLITICIAN, WP:BLP, WP:SOAP, and WP:NOTNEWS). Not speedy-deletable. Bearian (talk) 15:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I think he might be notable if he won the nomination, because then there will be fully enough newspaper coverage--every congressional race gets covered. but I see no clear evidence of that.  DGG ( talk ) 23:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, DGG said what I was thinking. It can be reestablished if he gets the nomination. Doc Quintana (talk) 23:26, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
