Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Stewart Albertson

Hi ALPolitico, Just wondering why this page Stewart Albertson has been nominated for deletion. He is a notable person (Google him), and also see the reference links, which state that he is officially running for a highly publicized seat on the U.S. Senate. Thank you.

 * If you have a question for ALPolitico, you should either leave a message at their talk page or ping them; otherwise they might miss the message. Regarding the reasons for deletion, being a candidate for an elected office usually is not considered sufficient to establish notability. The article you wrote does not show that Albertson has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of him - you have a couple of candidate lists, an entirely empty FEC page, and his own websites. Have newspapers such as the LA Times or the Sacramento Bee written about Albertson in some detail? Is there anything remarkable about him (that is, have independent sources written about anything) except this candidacy? If not, the appropriate solution is to mention him in the article on the election, but not to write an article about him. You may also want to take a look at the guideline on conflicts of interest; it's pretty obvious you either are Albertson himself or working on his behalf, and it may be difficult for you to cover him from a neutral point of view.
