 * Note for an Admin - WP:WITHDRAWN with no votes to delete. Please speedy keep with apologies.--MJH (talk) 19:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment. His position is/was one of two "heads of state and government" in San Marino. You can confirm this with a quick GNews search (e.g. this). What's going on? --Michig (talk) 08:10, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Passes WP:POLITICIAN #1 by serviing as a joint head of state. AllyD (talk) 09:11, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep subject is a current head of state, clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN. Hut 8.5 17:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - this head of state is elected every six months, and there's only one reference of note. Also, this is not a country, it is a microstate, basically an independent city of 30,000. A council member of Pittsburgh might be considered a more substantial politician. All that being said, if nobody agrees with me, then I will withdraw tomorrow. The issue is whether San Marco qualifies among "international, national, statewide/provincewide office". If so, then do we include micronations as well? What about the African micro republics?--MJH (talk) 17:58, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * San Marino is a sovereign state and a member of the United Nations. It's an independent country. Microstates are still countries. The head of state of a country holds national office. Hut 8.5 18:42, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. San Marino is definitely an independent country, and its heads of state pass WP:POLITICIAN just as well as Barack Obama, Gordon Brown, and Ahmed Dini Ahmed (formerly head of the smallest African republic).  You may wish to look at Bill Peduto or Patrick Dowd, however.  Nyttend (talk) 18:48, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I had not noticed the UN membership, which I think settles the issue. Sorry to have wasted your time, I would takedown the Pittsburgh guys, but they at least have references! Thanks all. --MJH (talk) 19:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
