I wanted to bring this here so that there can be a discussion. I'm not sure that Russell is notable, primarily if you look at WP:BIO1E.  Grsz  talk  04:32, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I worked to cite the article, but all I could come up with is biographical info from his campaign site.  Grsz  talk  13:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Being a candidate for an election is a claim of notability, so the nom was correct to bring it here rather than try to have it speedied, but neither being a field officer nor a candidate for a legislator's seat actually makes someone notable. Nyttend (talk) 05:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a candidate for an election is specifically not, in itself, a claim of notability - see WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO1E. Once you discount everything pertaining to the election (and that includes all the references) you are left with an article that does not satisfy WP:BIO. Ros0709 (talk) 06:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
