Nicholas Miccarelli III

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

Contested prod. Subject is a candidate for Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Otherwise seems to fail WP:BIO. The closest thing he has is the National Colelge Republican chairmanship which doesn't seem to cut it for me. With notability not inherited from candidacy, hard to see what else can push him over the threshold. Montco (talk) 09:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Simply being a candidate is not enough to confer notability. Gwernol 09:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BIO1E. This person has a little more WP:RS coverage than most candidates at the State Rep. level, but the substantial coverage is about his running for office. Not enough. • Gene93k (talk) 10:21, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete . The National College Republicans are a fairly big deal, but he doesn't seem to have done much of notability while there Ray Yang (talk) 22:28, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * On reflection and further research, change to Keep. If we read WP:BIO1E, we find that it says "If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography may be unwarranted. Coverage in Reliable sources may at times be extensive and may expand upon the person's background, but information on the person should generally be included in the article on the event itself, unless the information is so large that this would make the article unwieldy or sources have written primarily about the person, and only secondarily about the event." Most of his media sources (including an NPR article I've just added to the list of references) talk about Mr. Miccarelli as a veteran, young leader, talented politician, etc., first, and the particular office for which he's running second. The fact of his candidacy brings him to their attention and adds to his notability, but the person, rather than the event, is garnering the media interest -- after all, how many candidates manage to snag the endorsement of the union to which his opponent belongs?
