Willie Montague

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

Non-notable congressional candidate. No plausible claim to notability, no coverage outside of routine campaign coverage from minor outlets. One of the most cut-and-dry cases I've ever seen. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 05:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete -- Per nom, which I hate to use as a rationale, but there's really no significant coverage of this losing candidate. Central and Adams (talk) 16:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Hasn't even won a primary. Best, GPL93 (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Fairfax.org article is a proper source with significant coverage of him, but the rest are not so good. It may be WP:TOOSOON.Rustypenguin (talk) 08:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in political party primaries, but this is making and sourcing absolutely no credible claim that he had preexisting notability for any other reason. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but just being a candidate is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 15:44, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete – Clearly fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 09:05, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per WP:NPOL, "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable  they meet the general notability guideline." Unfortunately, he doesn't meet WP:GNG either. This is WP:TOOSOON. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 18:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
