I was wondering if state party chairs were notable, and from what I can tell they do not fit the political notable guidelines by default. Although this senatence is a bit ambiguous "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature" Does office have to be in the formal government? He is more likely to pass with sustained coverage, but as far as I could tell from my google search it was just a little name dropping and no indepth coverage.

 * Delete. State party chairs can be accepted as notable if they can be shown to pass WP:GNG for their work in that role or if they also pass WP:NPOL by virtue of another role (e.g. serving in congress or the state legislature), but they are not accepted as automatically notable just because they exist. This entire article is based solely on a single primary source, with no evidence of RS coverage about him shown at all. Bearcat (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
