 * Strong Delete. Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. Welshboyau11 (talk) 09:07, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Mark Meadows spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention, being one of the few House Candidates to do so. (There may have seemed like several, but keep in mind, there are over 400 members of the House of Representatives.) If this doesn't constitute coverage, I don't know what does. Donatrip (talk) 09:42, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This article meets WP:POLITICIAN #2. Like Richard Hudson, Mark Meadows has received considerable local and national press. The congressional district in which he is running (NC-11), is one of 3 consistently stated in national press as a highly targeted seat--considered a likely win for Republicans, a change from 6 years of a Democrat Member. Source 1, Source 2 (see chart at bottom of page NC-11), Source 3 (Roll Call), Source 4. Mark Meadows was one of only 10 congressional candidates to speak at RNC.
 * Delete: Or else redirect to the election page, if there is one. Meadows does not meet WP:POLITICIAN in any way. He has not held office and criterion #2 covers in-depth coverage in multiple pieces over a period of time, not single-event coverage or passing mentions (see the footnote, currently number 7). -- BenTels (talk) 21:13, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina, 2012 per WP:POLITICIAN. The subject does not YET meet the criteria for a stand alone article (including #2), but may soon. Location (talk) 23:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
