  • Comment, I can't find any references to this chap as an elected politician, but there is a historian at the University of Mississippi named "Chales Sullivan" who has written a few books. I also found this offhand mention of him as running for governor in 1971. Assuming he wasn't a fringe candidate (and I don't know), he's probably notable enough, especially if they're the same person. Lankiveil 01:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC).
    • Keep, adding my vote as per Oakshade's excellent research below. Lankiveil 02:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC).
    • Comment. I have found nothing to indicate that the politician is the same person as the historian, who seems to still be alive, whereas apparently the politician is quite deceased. --Dhartung | Talk 01:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Just added new info to article. He was in fact Lt. Governor of Mississppi.[1][2]. A US Air National Guard facility was named after him. --Oakshade 02:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. Sharkface217 03:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep sounds legit but needs more sources. Crum375 04:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, added TIME cite about earlier Presidential (!) and Gubernatorial campaigns.--Dhartung | Talk 07:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep — Seems simi noteable Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 07:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per WP:N. He lost the presidential race as an insignificant, and did not make it for governor either. Besides that, he was involved in the army, but the article makes no mention of any medals, honours or courageous acts. - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 16:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. As a Lt. Gov. he technically meets WP:BIO per Political figures holding or who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office. --Dhartung | Talk 01:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Being a lieutenant governor is more notable than most folks can expect to be -- it's an elected office (although I can't say whether it always was) and exceptionally powerful in Mississippi. Having an Air National Guard facility named after you is a nice bonus, too.
  • Keep per above. Close this already. Just H 20:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. ← ANAS Talk? 15:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
