WP:BLP of a person not properly sourced as passing any of Wikipedia's notability criteria. The notability claims here are serving in a county legislature, which is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass; previously serving on a smalltown city council, which is not an automatic NPOL pass; hosting a local talk radio show, which is not an automatic free pass over our notability standards for radio broadcasters; and being a professor at a minor college, which is not an automatic free pass over WP:ACADEMIC. But for referencing, what we have here is 5/7 primary sources that are not support for notability at all, with just two pieces of purely routine local reportage of election results for reliable sourcing, which is not enough in and of itself to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass any actual SNGs.

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL as a county legislator and town councillor. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. As IntoThinAir notes above, the subject fails WP:NPOL as a fairly minor local politician. Also fails WP:PROF. The GoogleScholar link in the template above produces several highly cited entries, but they are by a different scholar, Kevin G. Hardwick. The subject of this article, Kevin R. Hardwick, has a rather modest citability record, see here, with the h-index of 3. Nothing else in the record appears to indicate passing WP:PROF. Nsk92 (talk) 23:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
