Jim Buhrmaster

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

Candidate for a congressional seat. While his candidacy has made some news, he otherwise fails WP:BIO, and neither local delegates nor candidates are inherently notable. Huon (talk) 11:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect Perhaps a redirect to something like United States House of Representatives elections, 2008 or United States Senate elections, 2008 (whichever is appropriate). He only deserves his own article if he is elected. Paul20070 (talk) 12:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete (unless there is somewhere useful to redirect). Has not yet achieved notability, and we can't keep the article on the assumption he'll become notable later. It can always be recreated if he wins. Terraxos (talk) 04:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I live in this district, and he's less than notable. First of all, he's a third-tier candidate running in a very heavily Democratic district, where the "big guns" of either major party have yet to announce "officially".  He's a local office holder, of the minority party, representing a district of a couple thousand people, with no record.  There is zero chance he'll win: "Democrats have controlled the congressional seat for at least 50 years, but Buhrmaster later said he didn't make the claim to appeal to the district's Democratic voters."  This is pure spam for his home heating business, and his campaign is an ad for it as well.  See WP:COAT.  Sorry for the harshness, but this one is a farce.

 * P.S. The article's creator is a SPA, and almost certainly a person affiliated with the subject. I have my suspicions.... Bearian&#39;sBooties (talk) 01:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
