George M. Wallhauser Jr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:POLITICIAN, his only positions were of non-cabinet level state agencies and chairman of a county political party. He also was an unsuccessful congressional candidate, which also does not establish notability. His father was a congressman, but notability is WP:NOTINHERETED. Souring is routine coverage (an obituary and few other articles where he is mentioned but not the subject of the article). Rusf10 (talk) 15:06, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete another article on a non-notable New Jersey politician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:42, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there is enough information from reliable sources for a standalone article per GNG. --RAN (talk) 22:12, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep As expanded by RAN, this meets the WP:HEYMANN standard, with appropriate reliable and verifiable sourcing to back his claim of notability. Alansohn (talk) 02:00, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - "chairman of the New Jersey Highway Authority" - statewide appointed office. Good expansion by other users as well. Scanlan (talk) 22:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN or WP:ANYBIO criteria.--Rpclod (talk) 13:44, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG.  The article has six sources from the NYT covering a period of 1968 to 1977, a period predating the internet.  Also a WP:HEY to RAN.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:20, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: Does not meet POLITICIAN or GNG by any stretch. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 02:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Addendum: Wallhauser was a failed candidate for US House, which NPOL states does not guarantee notability. In addition, the offices he held were not cabinet offices or executive positions. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 02:27, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete -- an unremarkable local politician; does not meet WP:NPOL. Coverage is routine for this level of positions. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:47, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
