 * Delete I found nothing in Google books or Google newspapers.  The reference in the article,  was an interesting read regarding the cross-party use of write-in votes, but the topic here is a candidate for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Question Does anyone know if the Russ Diamond mentioned in the linked article is the Russ Diamond we have an article on? The fact that that article said he was "currently" running in a race that happened back in 2010 until I just edited it may reflect a need to better police articles on minor politicians to keep them up to date.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:14, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Unelected candidates for office do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates; they must win election to pass WP:NPOL, not just run for it. And fairly or not, I tend to suspect conflict of interest editing by the candidate's own campaign staff when a brochure about an unelected candidate shows up as its creator's first-ever contribution to Wikipedia. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but right now he's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:04, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
