 * Delete Lots of info but nothing that lifts him out of the ordinary and unnotable.Northwestgnome (talk) 03:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--and I've looked very closely at the references in the article, modifying the claims made. Our subject is chosen to run for office next time around, but so far has not distinguished himself at all. Some of the claims in the article are exaggerated, some were simply false (according to the sources given), others were silly or trivial. In all, I think subject is not notable enough, and the page smacks of vanity, to put it mildly. Drmies (talk) 04:26, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Mild Delete It wouldn't take much to bring this article up to snuff, but right now I think the claim of notoriety isn't well established. (and the part about "being present at a dinner..." is downright silly.Jmbranum (talk) 06:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's not what it said, originally--it said that he spoke at a dinner before this famous personality or something like that, and the sources didn't bear that out, to put it mildly. I have the feeling that someone close to the subject wrote this, and might want to say that 'they didn't put everything in the article that really happened....' but that's not the point of WP policy.
