Kendall Qualls

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

Candidate for nomination as candidate for Governor. Not elected to office. Previously unelected. No other notability, fails WP:GNG; WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:31, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; also he's long since withdrawn from the gubernatorial election, so his only notability is losing twice for different offices. Fails GNG by a long shot. Iseult   Δx parlez moi 05:40, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable as he was never elected. Oaktree b (talk) 13:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete unelected candidates for office are almost never notable. Basically the only exceptions are major party nominees for senate or governor, and even that is only some of them. Qualls was a candidate for US House, which is almost never enough to be notable and nothing suggests he is the extremely rare exception, and he was a candidate for the nomination for governor. The article seems to suggest he is no longer in the running for that, but he clearly has not yet won that nomination, and it is not getting that nomination that might put him over the top, but the very good coverage that some (but by no means all) candidates for governor get. We do not have that, and cannot at this time justify this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:39, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete or delete and redirect to 2022 Minnesota gubernatorial election, where the subject was a candidate. --Enos733 (talk) 15:36, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * But he also lost MN-3 in 2020; are we, when redirecting, target the election with the biggest profile? Iseult   Δx parlez moi 22:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Gamaliel  ( talk ) 16:27, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Failed candidates for political office do not meet WP:NPOL. Withdrew from gubernatorial race, so maybe redirect to his first failed campaign? Bkissin (talk) 17:34, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing here beyond the failed electoral run. WP:NPOL not met here at all. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:59, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Thoroughly fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
