Campaign advertisement for someone running for local sheriff. I don't believe being a county judge and running for sheriff make someone automatically notable, and I've tried to find multiple non-trivial mentions of Borkowski in independent, reliable sources to meet the notability criteria but have been unable to find anything worthwhile. Fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:POLITICIAN. Somno (talk) 09:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC) People who have held international, national or first-level sub-national political office, including members of a legislature and judges. However I see no evidence of significant press coverage. Heck, I can't even see moderate press coverage. 1, 2, 3 are all local news articles. Anti venin  10:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - I believe judges automatically meet WP:POLITICIAN.
 * You're emphasising the wrong part of the quote from WP:POLITICIAN; should be: "People who have held international, national or first-level sub-national political office, including members of a legislature and judges." Local county judges are not international, national, or first level sub-national. Somno (talk) 11:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah. I see what you're talking about. I'm learning something new everyday. =) Thanks for the help. Anti  venin  11:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. County judge is "level 2 sub-national" according to Table of administrative country subdivisions by country. Somno (talk) 11:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not a county judge. This is a town judge, so it would be third level.


 * Delete: Non notable, as the nom clearly explains. Nothing else to say about this one really.  C h a m a l  talk 12:08, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - nice bit of campaign advertising, though. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POLITICIAN - Wikipedia should not be an election billboard. JohnCD (talk) 21:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
