WP:BLP, sourced exclusively to dead links (only one of which counted as a reliable source even when it was live), of a person whose primary claim of notability is election to a local school board. That doesn't satisfy WP:NPOL. Being the first openly gay person elected to office in a given jurisdiction can in some cases constitute enough notability to keep a Wikipedia article, but that's not a free notability pass either — you still have to properly source that they got past WP:GNG for it, which one profile in The Advocate won't prove even if the link can be retrieved. Delete unless the sourcing can be substantively improved. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

 * KEEP. Maybe not a mountain but he keeps getting coverage. Adam-yo! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam10749 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This looked great, until all the links were eitehr broken or passing mentions. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:23, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * My experience is different. All the links but one work, and most all the items are primarily about him. Adam10749 — Preceding undated comment added 07:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep In the past two days or so, User:Adam10749 has (quite impressively for a new editor) improved and expanded the article substantially enough to make a fairly good case for the subject meeting WP:GNG - indeed, I would regard notability as undeniably established if the article had one or two further substantial reliable sources from outside Charleston. But there are some non-Charleston sourcing, and at least one of the Charleston publications cited (The Post and Courier) seems to be of regional rather than just local significance. Notability may be somewhat borderline, but personally I think that it is met. PWilkinson (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I've used wikis before and the tools for adding a reference were friendly to use. User:Adam10749 — Preceding undated comment added 22:32, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I was inclined to close this as a keep per however, I think that relisting this in light of Adam's updates to the article would be better to acertain actual consensus.  D u s t i *Let's talk!* 23:16, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * As the nominator, I'm formally withdrawing this due to the sourcing improvements that have taken place since I first listed it. Thanks,, nice job. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
