Ken Martin (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not pass WP:NPOL as he hasn't held state-wide public office, at the very least. Bedivere (talk) 21:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Is the coverage sufficient since the position is not inherently notable Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  11:53, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable state party chair, meets WP:GNG Andre🚐 22:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Andrevan This person, notable primarily as the chair of a state-level political party is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the article isn't referenced well enough to get them over WP:GNG. This is not what it takes to make a political operative notable enough for an encyclopedia article. --Bedivere (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It is well-referenced enough to pass GNG, and AFD is not cleanup. This individual was also vice DNC chair along with state party chair. Andre🚐 22:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Neutral: As usual, state party chairs are not inherently notable ex officio but may be notable depending on the strength of coverage. In this case, the coverage is quite superficial despite being high in quantity. Curbon7 (talk) 13:31, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm seeing at least two or three bits of in, so passes GNG.  Springnuts (talk) 10:55, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. State-level chair of major party, with adequate independent sources. Kablammo (talk) 13:12, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
