 * Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG as a necessary article. He ran for Mayor of Paradise unsuccessfully and the unorthodox section of Mayor after the recount led him to get some national media attention. He entered the race for PC Nomination in Topsail less than one day before the vote. Other than these two event within less than a month of each other he hasn't done anything notable.

 * Delete I don't know why this page was ever created. As well in this page's discussion board I brought up the point of who should have articles and I'm looking for feedback. Newfoundlander&amp;Labradorian (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Agreed that we don't really need this; it's giving undue weight to one event which really doesn't need anything more than the short section that's already present in Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador. When you get right down to it, even if a politician garners a quick flurry of media coverage over the circumstances of an election, and even if that coverage feeds on itself because the situation lends itself so readily to bad Paradise Lost puns, the politician still has to actually achieve something to have any sort of enduring notability that lasts longer than 15 minutes. Paradise ain't that big a town, so he likely wouldn't even qualify for an article if he'd won the mayoralty; Ralph Wiseman doesn't even have an article, and Coombs is hardly more notable for losing the election, regardless of the circumstances, than Wiseman is for winning it.
