Cannot see anything to really establish any notability, there are no reliable sources to demonstrate notability and I am unable to find any. Only real claim to notability for this 15 year old (according to the date of birth in the article) is being co-chairman of a county committee which does not seem anything like enough to justify an article Davewild 21:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Helping other people get elected to notable office doesn't make you notable. Article is written like a coatrack filled with peacock feathers. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • No need- I don't see a problem with this article, the kid sounds like he may be an important figure, reguardless of any full "proof" if someone wrote an article about him, then he must be a public figure. martywhite 21:15, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep. 15 is young to be on a political committee,let alone co-chair one. I'm not sure if a minor can also be a "public figure" under US Law. If not,this article needs to be deleted.jonathon 23:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
The article does need some sources.jonathon 23:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per WP:BLP information must be verifiable. DAMurphy 18:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep needs sources for verification (I imagine there are newspaper articles) and it needs to be less of a "puff" piece, but the fact that he is politically involved at all at such a young age is in itself notable. Vgranucci 23:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no sources, no real notability to this kid. Also, this article is the creator's only contribution. Biruitorul 03:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
