[edit] Jeff Morgan (Ohioan)
Non-notable politician. Only ran for one office, in 2005, garnering 0.9% of the vote in the June primaries. ral315 18:13, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. My dad ran as an independent a few years back and got 8%, and even he isn't anywhere close to deserving an article.--Frag 21:14, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep strongly. Proposer has moved that Morgan and other candidates in the June 14th primary be removed on the grounds they did not do well. He has an article so to make a complete record of the election. I do not think it fair to decide legitimate candidates for an important office do not merit articles because they did not do well in the campaign. Some of those he proposes for deletion have won local offices (e.g. Eric Minamyer) and if we delete them, then we'll have to prevent nearly all local officials from getting any attention at all.

- Delete for reasons stated at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Peter Fossett, only more so. Did he get any votes that weren't friends and family? -R. fiend 15:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge for reasons given at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Peter_Fossett. As an aside, "only ran for one office" may not mean much here, since this is a recent campaign. One or more of them could easily run for office again and win that election. --JamesB3 16:18, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hell, I could run for President and win, in 2012. Where's my article? -R. fiend 16:41, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

- [s]Merge. See (lengthy) opinion on VfD/Peter Fossett. Aerion//talk 03:59, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete--candidates this minor are not notable. There's no way he deserves his own article, as opposed to being mentioned in a table listing the results. Meelar (talk) 13:41, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
