 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable congressional candidate. Of the 4 sources cited on the page, 1 is Ballotpedia, 1 is IMDb, 1 is a NYT article about his daughter that doesn't even mention him, and the other is a press release he sent out. Doesn't seem to have gotten significant news coverage and I don't see any reason to think he's notable. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * As this person is a current congressional candidate, this page is all the more important as a source of public information. Lnbknrd1 (talk) 17:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" -- WP:NPOL. Wikipedia is not a search engine, it's an encyclopedia of articles about notable people, events, and concepts. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the elections article. He wouldn't otherwise be notable for a page, and we don't keep pages on candidates. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * For the record, I would also support a redirect to 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Montana. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 01:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the elections article (as R from member?). I'm wondering about the "known for..." in the first sentence because they are not mentioned in any of the linked articles. Killarnee (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comments. I would not oppose a redirect, although there is an argument for a weak keep based on his acting career and SAG board membership. If he gets elected, then we could re-create the article afresh. Bearian (talk) 17:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure SAG board membership confers notability. Looking at the current national board, there are plenty of members who have Wikipedia pages, but there are also plenty who don't, including Samantha MacIvor, Eric Wydra, Avis Boone, Diana Boylston, Rik Deskin, Shaan Sharma, and Ilyssa Fradin. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:58, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * He also only had some minor roles, and this article was clearly created in support of his candidacy. If there are sources demonstrating he's a notable actor, I'm willing to review them on those grounds, but I'm not optimistic. SportingFlyer  T · C  21:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Are there independent third party mentions about their membership? Cannot find one so why should it matter. But agree with possible recreation after election. Killarnee (talk) 21:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
