Michael Davidson (politician)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Mr. Davidson did not win his race for national chair of a college student group. He is currently running a PAC. Neither of these facts are notable.

There are thousands of invitation only PACs in the country and their officers are not notable. There are even more national student groups, and the winners of their elections are not notable, let alone the losers....

 * Delete I don't believe the media coverage is sufficient to warrant inclusion per WP:POLITICIAN. Further, being an officer of the College Republicans is to be a officer of a private club, not a political officeholder. Qqqqqq (talk) 00:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Of course, someone can fail the politician criteria and still be notable (Alexander Graham Bell, to pick a random example, obviously fails the politician criteria but is notable for other reasons), but the few sources given for Davidson don't establish his notability.

 * Yeah, but the subject of this article is purportedly a politician, as evidenced by the article title, for starters. No one considers Bell to be a politician; he would be judged by a more appropriate criterion. Qqqqqq (talk) 06:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * To be sure :-) but a failed candidate for office, even if attempting to be known primarily as a politician, can still be notable. My point was that we can't consider only the politicians criteria.  Nyttend (talk) 15:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
