Washington, D.C. district 8C03 election, 2010

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This article is about a race for a neighborhood commission in a municipal district of Washington, D.C. It has clearly generated some media coverage and there are reliable sources, but it is ultimately still a very local race and all of the sources are local to D.C. I have tried hard to clean it up and fix the sources, but it does not seem to me that it passes the general notability guideline. —Tim Pierce (talk) 16:23, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Neither of the candidates for this advisory position would meet the guidelines of WP:POLIITICIAN, and Wikipedia is not the news. The only reason this seems to be here is that one of the candidates used the "n-word" in the campaign to see which of them would be the neighborhood rep.  Mandsford 20:28, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. An election is to a position which doesn't confer notability is unlikely to be notable. Otherwise, I endorse the reasons detailed by Mandsford and Tim Pierce. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete We've already deleted one of the non-notable candidates per Articles for deletion/Larry T. Pretlow II, and this is just an election so minor it doesn't even confer notability on the person who wins it. Unsurpisingly this article was created by who, along with other accounts, has a lengthy history of edits attempting to promote Larry Pretlow, see User talk:JzG/Archives/July 2010 for the gory details.  2 lines of K  303  12:39, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I am not a promoter. I have contributed articles not regarding Larry T. Pretlow II. However, I am in Washington, D.C. along with most of my subjects. Get over it. Matter of fact, this version of the article that's been approved is not even the one I submitted, so why did you post the delete notice on my talk page? I didn't resubmit the article. Leave me out of your conspiracy claims. Dc archivist (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * When proposing an article for deletion, it's customary to place a notice on the talk page of the editor who originally contributed it, so they can participate in the discussion. —Tim Pierce (talk) 16:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete this foolishness. It is somewhere between WP:TABLOID and WP:COATRACK. Guy (Help!) 17:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
