Trent Staggs (American politician)

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

Being a mayor and a candidate for U.S. Senate is not enough for a WP page in and of itself. The sources cited are either the city's website, election results, or routine coverage of his administration or campaigns from local media outlets. Doesn't seem to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NPOL.

 * The subject has decent sources like https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trent-skaggs-utah-senate-mitt-romney_n_646d1259e4b056fd46dd071d, I think it might not be a bad thing to expand coverage to include such articles if they are well referenced and not overly promotional. - Indefensible (talk) 04:26, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added several points and citations from various news sources. I hope that addresses the concerns. Hilton80 (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete mayors and candidates do not have inherent notability per WP:10YT. He is not independently notable of his candidacy and should be covered on the Utah senatorial election page. SportingFlyer  T · C  12:37, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Many articles for mayors and candidates are not as good as this so policy can be used to exclude them, but subject here probably has enough to meet WP:GNG. - Indefensible (talk) 15:31, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * We exclude candidates even if they meet WP:GNG. He's a small town mayor and candidates are almost always redirected to the election they're running in unless they're independently important, he's not as a mayor of a small town, and this article was specifically created to WP:PROMOte a senate candidate - it's in the very first edit summary.

 * Keep Article's not in bad shape and it covers some things outside of his political activities. Well sourced too. I've seen worse articles that are still around here. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 20:57, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not just a discussion about whether or not the page is well-written, it's also a discussion about whether or not Trent Staggs is notable enough to have a Wikipedia page. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 21:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep I believe Staggs is worthy of a page, but it definitely needs work. The fact that he doesn't even have an officeholder infobox makes me wonder if there are POV issues at work here. Going to work on some edits. PickleG13 (talk)
