William Escoffery

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable. A gadfly candidate for Florida's Senate seat who doesn't even register in the polls. bd2412 T 02:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * KEEP Dr. William Escoffery is a qualified candidate for the U.S. Senate in Florida in 2010. The Primary is August 24th 2010. I will have to assume that anyone advocating that his wiki page be deleted is only trying to keep his message burried. That is wrong.

 * Delete Wikipedia is under no obligation to present anybody's "message" (or in this case, their resume. The only persons who are guaranteed an article under WP:POLITICIAN are those who have served in their nation's legislature, whether it's Congress, Parliament, the National Assembly, whatever.  Everybody else has to prove notability, including whichever person happens to win their party's nomination.  Escoffery, Kogut, Thorpe, Meek, Greene, Ferre, Burkett, Burns -- all great people I'm sure, but none of 'em can use Wikipedia for their campaigns.  They're all entitled to be mentioned in United States Senate election in Florida, 2010 and if they want more, t.f.b., too bad.  Mandsford 14:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is an article being used to promote a political campaign, which is a violation of policy, requiring that articles are not to be used as a means of promotion. Cindamuse (talk) 15:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as non-notable, but first read it; it is too funny. He and his third wife "have been married for almost a couple years"! The article is purely biographical and provides absolutely no information about his current campaign, in which he is one of several unknowns running for the Republican senate nomination which will surely go to Marco Rubio. Without political notability he has no notability at all. Google News supplies nothing much except the fact that he chief of staff at a small hospital in Homestead. As an article it is hopeless - reads like a resume written by a 7th grader. It's all "Dr. Escoffery this" and "Dr. Escoffery that," but at one point the author slips up and reveals that he is writing it himself: "Brought up a couple kids (Home-Schooled my boy)." As I said, it can provide a chuckle or two, but it's an obvious delete. --MelanieN (talk) 06:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E; as subjects only 'claim to fame' right now is running in a primary. Should the candidate achieve further success than a primary, then there may be grounds for notability. Until then, there's no place for this article. Akerans (talk) 22:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
