 * Delete per WP:BIO you have to win to be notable for the political activity, and there is no other claim to notability Bill Boaks he ain't. Guy (Help!) 20:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

My comments - Tony Zirkle is mentioned on both the Wikipedia article about Representative Chris Chocola and appears to have been a topic of discussion within the Talk section. Within the talk section (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chris_Chocola#Tony_Zirkle), Bachs states "If someone wanted to link to a Tony Zirkle wiki entry that lists all of his known political views that is fine".

You do not have to win to be notable for a political activity. Cite Wikipedia's WP:BIO sub page on Candidates and Elections -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Candidates_and_elections -- "This is not a reason to delete candidate articles if the only problem is that the election article has yet to be written. Merger of the candidate articles into the election article may well improve Wikipedia."

Although the article is not as complete as I'd like it to be, it does provide preliminary documentation of Zirkle's views.
