[edit] David Eversman

Mr. Eversman ran for the US House in 2004 and lost 67% to 33%. He doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO, especially WP:C&E. He's a published author but his book ranks over amillion on Amazon and is published by AuthorHouse, a printing on demand, self-publisher. His only claim to fame is that he ran, and lost, for office.

• Delete Candidacy does not make one notable. These accomplishments are even less so. --DarkAudit 02:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I would say he's a notable candidate, rumor has it he'll run again. Pluse he's a published author, and is writing a screenplay. Also a major figure in politics and economic development in his state. Anyone from Georgia would say he's notable. Strong keep.--Fredtorrey 9:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Book is self-published, with an Amazon sales rank of 1,128,288 and dropping. --DarkAudit 19:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I have done some editing / rewrite to this article that will hopefully clear up some confusion as to the nature of this man's "claim to fame" if you will. It's not perfect, but I think it's better than the original. Sorry if I'm new to this whole process.. I am just started to become more active on Wikipedia and really want to be a good Wikipedian and contribute all that I can. I'm sorta new to editing.. but I understand the principles and ideas behind Wikipedia and I can see both sides of the argument here, but I really think that the accomplishments of Eversman are worthy enough of a small mention on Wikipedia. I see less notables all the time. Thanks.--Fredtorrey 23:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I've read the revised article. The most notable thing, still, it seems to me, is a failed run for Congress. That's not good enough. John Broughton 03:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
