Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Floyd C. Bayne

I would submit that this article remain, with possible edits.

The article would appear to be self-serving, possibly submitted by Bayne or a supporter.

However, as a registered voter of the VA 7th district, I would suggest that the article remain as Wikipedia is used a source of information on candidates. Rick Waugh (D) is equally obscure in the district; however, his page has not been marked for deletion.

Regarding the suggestion that Bayne is not notable, there are certainly plenty of articles which could be cited to argue his notability.

Mr. Bane has succeeded in getting himself on the ballot for a Congressional race, where other independents have failed. This is in itself notable.

To sum up, I think the page could be edited and certainly improved, particularly with regard to citations, but does not warrant removal.

 * You are correct that Waugh's article should meet the same fate. I have redirected Rick Waugh to United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia, 2010. Location (talk) 13:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
