This article does not demonstrate notability and appears to be about a 15 year old "politician" that certainly fails WP:Politician and has received no notable coverage. Some references do not even mention his name (Striking my own prior mistake). Seems to be an Autobiography. Prod removed by author, saying "Every Source Mentions his name. Also, He is notable as a member of the school board." I do not see how a student member of the school board is notable. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 02:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - no claim to notability for encyclopaedic worth. Simply self-promotion--Stephencdickson (talk) 12:22, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Age makes the subject worthy of inclusion under the principle that Dog Bites Man is not news but Man Bites Dog is... Self-promoting, sure, as are about 96.543% of biographies of living politicians on WP. Politicians are almost inherently notable, in my view, they are public figures in the news... Is this subject really a politician? That's the question... I'm inclined to say yes, for now. Carrite (talk) 16:59, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how this person fits "Politicians are almost inherently notable, in my view, they are public figures in the news..." because almost all of the references are either primary sources (School board and the kid's facebook page) or are trivial mentions. This person is also a student member of a local school board, and fails WP:Politician. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 20:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POLITICIAN members of school boards are not notable. Also coverage in third party sources are lacking - facebook pages created by the subject are as far as it gets from reliable sources. Valenciano (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN or the general notability criteria. Lacks reliable sources.  Royal broil  01:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no coverage in gnews . LibStar (talk) 04:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If this person seeks election to the Wisconsin State Legislature, becomes a well-known actor or writer then the article should be recreated-but I can not see keeping this article if the subject is just a student representative of the local school board-therefore I agree with LibStar and RoyalBroil but with the comment that this article can always be recreated should things change-Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
