non notable local politician/candidate, fails WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. Bhockey10 (talk) 22:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - I am tempted to craft a "Carrite's Minority Rationale for Including Every Politician That Moves" page and just linking to that. In short: Wikipedia has a real world function for many users, providing a neutral venue for the presentation of political candidate biographies. This is a valuable service, not to mention the fact that such biographies are apt to be linked off other pages dealing with specific elections. Why settle for redlinks? Why not document the candidates in real time? These are public figures, worthy of inclusion in an electronic encyclopedia. Carrite (talk) 00:59, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Notable local politicians can have articles, but require similar notability standards to other, independent, verifiable sources. See WP:POLITICIAN. If we have articles for all politicians, regardless of notability- then every high school class president should have an article. This subject and other similar ones nominated with this are all localized policial races with very little to no media coverage. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:30, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong delete - This is campaign rhetoric, sourced from the subject's promotional web page, that is not neutral. It promotes the subject's business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.91.137.115 (talk) 18:40, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment You hit the nail on the head about the promotional and not neutral, I just realized this subject and others created by the same user and up for AfDs are all of the same party, with no articles of opponents. Even if someone wanted to wikify a local political race (which fails wp standards) at least have both sides covered neutrally. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep -Marilyn Kittelman is a political figure that is of great importance to our area. She is very notable is her Senate District (Oregon SD4).

 * Delete - not yet notable. I searched for reliable sources, and could only find mentions that she's running for State Senate (e.g. ) and one article about an obscure controversy from 2006 (which is apparently on the spam blacklist, so never mind!). If she wins the election or otherwise becomes notable, the article can be recreated, but for now it should be deleted. Robofish (talk) 00:14, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as obvious copyvio. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I see this has been deleted already. The usual outcome is to redirect to the appropriate election. 01:25, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
