[edit] Bill Carrico

Bill Carrico (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Failed election candidate with no independent notability. Also unsourced so fails WP:V. Delete recommendation. Bridgeplayer 21:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Fails WP:BIO, no independent sources. Wikipedia is not an election guide.--Dhartung | Talk 05:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep - there are two problems with this article:

1. the man's name is actually Charles "Bill" Carrico, so you have to look for him under Charles (and misspellings of Carrico) to find sources on him
2. the article's out of date: it turns out that though he failed to be elected to the U.S. Congress, he's still a Delegate of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2001, and is running for re-election. See http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=Delegate+Charles+Carrico

The article certainly needs updating and sources (and possibly renaming), but is worth keeping. Clicketyclack 23:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

• Keep Meets WP:BIO, as he is a state legislator. the Virginia House of Delegates is the lower house of the Virginia state legislature: WP:BIO specifically says that individuals elected to a state or provincial legislature are notable. --Charlene 07:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Change !vote to keep based on new information provided since my !vote.--Dhartung | Talk 19:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep - nomination withdrawn in the light of the new information. Bridgeplayer 19:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
