Scott R. Thomas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable politician in very small city, pop. under 15,000. His highest position was president of the school-board, and he lost the election for mayor. This article has been here since 2008, which is rather amazing.

If he were a current candidate for anything, I might have listed this for G13, promotional, but the article says he's left politics.  DGG ( talk ) 04:08, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete For the record he seems not to have left politics, he seems to still hold a position as an elected Republican delegate, being reelected in 2014. However the fact that he lost the mayoral election just shows he is no where near notable. Even if he had won he would not be notable. This article just shows that Wikipedia has lots of unneeded articles on local politicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:06, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed, nothing here passes WP:NPOL: school board trustees don't get into Wikipedia just for being trustees; losing mayoral candidates don't get into Wikipedia just for being losing mayoral candidates (and, for that matter, the town he ran for mayor of isn't large enough to automatically confer notability on its mayors, so even if he'd won that election he still wouldn't necessarily qualify for a Wikipedia article); members of state political party committees don't qualify for articles just for being on the committee. No prejudice against recreation in the future if he ever actually wins election to a notable office, but right now he's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 18:57, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
