Jackson Kirk Grimes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Grimes is "running" for President in the US but is not registered with the FEC. This was prodded once but to my surprise has never been nominated for AfD. The problem with people like this is that their presence on Wikipedia fuels the tiny amount of coverage they get. Blogs have discovered and been amused by Mr. Grimes, partially through his Wikipedia biography. He has been mentioned in legit news sources, but only in long lists of no-chance presidential candidates. Significant coverage in reliable sources, as required by the guideline doesn't seem to be out there. Chick Bowen 04:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment (no decision yet). From my initial search on Jack Grimes, his press coverage comes from A) his perennial runs for office or B) the Wilkes-Barre, Penn. area press. • Gene93k (talk) 05:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment (also no decision yet) The fact that a presidential candidate has "no chance" is not conclusive as to notability. Kestenbaum (talk) 15:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I never suggested otherwise. My point is that the coverage includes him in lists of others; a candidate like Chuck Baldwin gets a lot of significant coverage even though he has no chance.  Grimes is not in that category. Chick Bowen 17:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per UNDUE. Not every attention seeking crackpot should get an article, especially when the press coverage of said person is lacking. - Mgm|(talk) 08:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
