Saul Farber

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Fails to meet the criteria for WP:POLITICIAN; he's nothing more than a candidate whose supporters are trying to use WP to advance his campaign. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 17:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC) I am completing the nomination for an IP. I have no opinion at the moment. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Meets WP:GNG per the two sources above and the following ones:, , , , . -- Cycl o pia talk  23:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - all of those are nice, but they are refs for a BLP1E (political campaign) and they mention him in passing. Hardly the detailed coverage required in multiple sources.   GregJackP    Boomer!  23:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - if he wins then it can be recreated. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 01:18, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep he is referenced in all the articles below and will certainly receive more coverage as he begins campaigning in the months ahead. he is the Republican candidate for NY state senate in 2010, and this article provides information and links for the community seeking to learn about their voting options in the November election. Note: This comment was added by 96.224.100.220 but put in the wrong place; I have moved it to where it belongs. --MelanieN (talk) 18:31, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. Failed political candidate, has never held office. References provided are not mainstream. A search of Google News finds many other people named Saul Farber (a physician, an artist, a coach) but nothing about him, at least in the first few dozen hits. Wikipedia is not the place for "the community seeking to learn about their options in the November election"; people looking for that kind of information should visit smartvoter.com. Wikepedia is an encyclopedia, and articles here have to deal with notable subjects. --MelanieN (talk) 18:38, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
