Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Steven R. Mullins

the mullins article has nothing to do with mathematical or marine ecology and statistics. in the category, connecticutpolitian stubs, ther are several office holders and seekers including charlie pilsbury.

mullins was nominated for state comptroller by a major political party in the state. its not a small office. the positionprovides accounting and fiscal services, manages all state employee benefits, develops accounting policy and oversight and prepares financial reports for state, federal and municipal governments and the public.

considering that he is young, he may run for state office again or even make a run for congress. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jackknif (talk • contribs).
 * This is the editor's first contribution. I imagine the otherwise cryptic remark about marine ecology is a reference to the interests I discuss on my user page.  I can only note that I will pitch in where needed.  To my eye, candidacy for an office for which few articles exist for office holders (including current comptroller, Nancy Wyman) does not make a claim of notability, excluding other factors.  In fact, in my experience, candidacy alone rarely is grounds for an article.  Indeed, Mullins may make a future run for office, and if he wins we can write the article then.  --TeaDrinker 22:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
