 * Delete. If he ends up as a successful candidate, then he would clearly pass WP:POLITICIAN - but, failing that, all we have is a kid who was active at his high school. Good as far as it goes, but not sufficient to justify an article. The usual caveats apply, though - once he does something that indicates notability under our policies, an article might be appropriate. Good luck to him.

 * Note also that the article was written by the subject - User:SalemNH2 identifies the source of the photo as "Adobe Photoshop with my own picture and a preset effect" as per File:Joseph Sweeney.jpg. The same user is the primary author of the article. And that's a problem. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 19:32, 1 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete as an unelected local politician. Carrite (talk) 15:20, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. With no personal harm meant to Mr. Sweeney, obviously. He would be well advised to save the wikicode in case he becomes notable later in life. Colipon+ (Talk) 20:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
