TJ Hudson

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

TJ Hudson is a local politician who ran for a single statewide office. Treutlen County, Georgia is approximately 6,885. This is well below the threshold at least regional prominence defined under POLOUTCOMES for local officials. I do not believe his candidacy does not pass the test that he could be referenced to such an unusual depth, range and volume of press coverage that her candidacy could be credibly claimed as much more special than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (see Christine O'Donnell). He is an African-American first according to the article, but that is contradicted by List of first minority male lawyers and judges in Georgia. I believe that he therefore does not meet the notability standards for political figures. Mpen320 (talk) 19:53, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete heads of counties are not default notable, and those over counties with less than 10,000 people are almost never notable. Nothing to suggest he would be the extremely rare exception to this general rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future elections they haven't won yet — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and Wikipedia is not a free public relations database for aspiring future officeholders to promote their candidacies in the meantime. But the only other attempted claim of notability here is that he's county manager of a county, which is not a notability-clinching office either. Bearcat (talk) 16:40, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
