The result was delete. I'm not relisting despite the sources cited by Mpen320 at the end: two are passing mentions, and one is the Daily Mail, which, well.  Sandstein   18:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Local politician fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. KidAd (talk) 02:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete county level attorney's are not default notable. The article lacks anything approaching the level of sourcing needed to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. State's attorney at the county level is not an WP:NPOL-passing office, and there's no evidence whatsoever that he has the unusual depth or range of reliable source coverage it would take to make him more special than all the other county attorneys in the United States who don't have and aren't getting articles. And the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, so having also been an unsuccessful candidate for a more NPOL-passing office is still not a notability booster.

 * Delete. Doesn't pass NPOL and not enough coverage for GNG. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 03:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - we have kept district attorney articles for as little as 90,000 population, but there's nothing special about this lawyer. I don't want this to become a precedent for wholesale deletion of county attorney articles, which should be decided on a case by case basis. Bearian (talk) 17:02, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep To Bearian's point about articles that have been kept. I think between his prosecution of James D. Heiple, his involvement in at least one case of national interest the Waffle House shooting, and his nationally covered anti-gambling activism, and his creation of the meth poster child are worth considering.--Mpen320 (talk) 05:24, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
