Jon Girodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Primary candidate; does not appear to meet notability guideline at WP:POLITICIAN. Kinu t/c 23:03, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:POLITICIAN, other aspects do not meet WP:GNG-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  23:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Easily fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. It could be WP:TOOSOON if he were to get elected but Republicans generally don't get elected where he lives. --Jersey92 (talk) 02:34, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * As usual, WP:NPOL dictates that unelected candidates do not qualify for articles on Wikipedia just for being candidates; if they haven't already established enough notability for other things that they already qualified for a Wikipedia article before they became candidates, then they have to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable enough. I swear to gawd I'm going to make this into a template so I don't have to keep typing it out every time a campaign manager posts their boss's campaign brochure. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but right now it's a big fat delete. Note also that this version is basically an exact copy of the article that was posted a few days ago at Jon Girodes (Politician) by User:Jon Girodes himself, and was speedied A7 within minutes — so in addition to all the other things wrong with this, add conflict of interest to the pot too.

 * I figured there were some SPA/sock issues here. If anyone cares to investigate, feel free. -- Kinu  t/c 13:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Bearcat's reasoning above. Solely running for an office does not suffice for notability. Upjav (talk) 00:13, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
