Jeff Boss
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

An article on this person was previously deleted after an AfD discussion about one year ago resulted in a firm consensus to delete. The subject is a "9/11 Truth Activist" from New Jersey who has made several runs for public office as a fringe candidate (see here). Anyway, I believe that Boss failed WP:POLITICIAN back then and still does today, but since the AfD was a year ago and consensus can change, I suppose another discussion might be preferred to a G4 speedy deletion. So what's changed in the past year? Boss has placed a very distant third in a gubernatorial primary (although the article claims that he was a "major" candidate) and he's announced another longshot campaign, this time for Congress. I will reiterate: Boss fails WP:POLITICIAN, and while a perennial candidate can eventually meet WP:BIO, I don't think Boss has hit that point yet.

 * Delete and Salt Nothing has really changed from the last AfD —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sin Harvest (talk • contribs) 12:32, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Boss has been featured on TV, radio, and in newspapers in New Jersey. He is very well known in the state, and his good showings during elections make him notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenguy89 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep, press coverage indicates notability. Everyking (talk) 08:05, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Everyking, I don't dispute that there's press coverage, but why do you think it amounts to significant coverage? I certainly don't think it does. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 21:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep, he has been on the radio, newspaper, and TV. greenguy89 (talk) 04:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin: Greenguy89 created the article both times it was sent to AfD, and he already voted to keep above. Greenguy89, please don't add multiple bolded votes to keep; your vote will not be counted twice. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 21:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN by a long way. The press coverage is minimal or trivial; I don't consider it adds up to significant coverage. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per Mkativerata, coverage is not sigificant, does not meet notability guidelines. Risker (talk) 03:16, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
