Steve Daines

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

I have placed an AFD/nomination for deletion for this article. I have placed this AFD because the article seems to be an advertisement for Steve Daines '04. Besides being badly dated, the article is loaded with phrases "life-long Montanan,etc". V. Joe (talk) 03:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. As a candidate of a major party for a senior state office he meets notability guidelines. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Thoughts Looks like it may meet G11 because it needs a complete rewrite to be encyclopedic. However, he is clearly notable.  So I'd say I'm neutral between deletion without prejudice as to recreation and keep but rewrite. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Insufficient notability to meet guidelines. Being a candidate for office is not enough. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:11, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, actually, according to our notability guidelines, at that level it is. Guidelines aren't set in stone and aren't policy, but they do at least provide a basis for debate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete not notable. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  10:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete When he gets the Lieutenant Governor position, it may be reconsidered. --Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (talk) 23:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly fulfills the third criterion of WP:POLITICIAN: "Major figures in national or first-level sub-national political races." A major party nominee for statewide office qualifies. Ray  Talk 02:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Every nominee in every election for every statewide office in every state is notable? Qqqqqq (talk) 15:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Montana-related deletion discussions.  --  Ray  Talk 02:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Merely running for a statewide office does not establish notability. Qqqqqq (talk) 03:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep meets notability guidelines, could use some decent refs though. riffic (talk) 09:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
