[edit] David Wolkinson

David Wolkinson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Another contested prod for an election candidate, this time for the Michigan House of Representatives. Wikipedia is not an election hoarding: per WP:BIO#Politicians, just being a candidate does not confer notability. The references say only that he was active in student politics, has been a candidate before, and has a blog. Delete as not notable. JohnCD (talk) 09:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:BIO#Politicians, which states that just being a candidate for political office doesn't guarantee notability. Notability would otherwise be conferred by significant press coverage, but Wolkinson doesn't have this. PeterSymonds | talk 09:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per PeterSymonds. -[[Ryan]] (me) (talk) 11:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, wikipedia is not a local political blog. If he gets elected to the U.S. Congress or higher, then he can have an article. KleenupKrew (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable enough yet. --John Nagle (talk) 17:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete - David is a significant figure in Michigan politics. Rock2942 (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete being a candidate is not enough for notability.-- danntm T C 16:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: No assertion of notability beyond the subject's being a candidate for a political party nomination, and being a candidate for a state legislative seat - neither of which is inherently notable. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 00:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
