Orlando Ochoada
[WP:BIO]. Simply being a candidate for a state legislative office is not notable; nor is Wikipedia a who's who of political activists. tony garcia 18:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:VAIN. The bit about the birthday is hilarious -- this is perhaps mergeable with the UM campus article. Half the "references" have nothing to do with him, though. --Dhartung | Talk 21:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete One article in the college paper is not enough to establish notability. Not a present candidate for public office. Not quite enough to justify an article.Edison 23:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Orlanda Ochoada is extremely well known at the University of Minnesota, a very large public institution. In addition, many conversative candidates for statewide office in Minnesota seek his advice, counsel and endorsement.  He is probably among the top 10, certainly top 20 of the most influential non-elected republicans in Minnesota
 * Comment "Extremely well known"--is this verifiable in Wikipedia's standards? "candidates...seek his advice..."--is this verifiable?  "probably among the top 10..."--again, this justification for the 'Keep' seems to also not be verifiable.  These statements sound more like someone trying to create notability to save the article.--Tony 00:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
