[edit] Jan C. Ting
Delete, Yet another political hopeful who does not satisfy WP:BIO nor WP:C&E. Vectro 17:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Almost certainly meets WP:PROF. Furthermore, note that while representative candidates are a dime a dozen, this candidate is in the Senate and endorsed by a major party. JoshuaZ 19:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Until today I had never seen an AfD for a major party candidate for the US Senate. And he even won a statewide primary. This is getting out of hand. (By "this" I mean: finding articles on challenger candidates to delete). -- Sholom 19:55, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sholom, if you look at my record you'll see that I have nominated candidates from the entire gamut; there's no political motivation to this nomination. Please assume good faith before making accusations in the future. Also, WP:C&E suggests that it is not enough to be a candidate for any position; a person must be notable on other merits to get an article pre-election. However, JoshuaZ's note that he may meet WP:PROF has some merit. Cheers, Vectro 01:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Vectro also bear in mind that unlike a represenative position in order for somoen to become a major party Senate candidate they have to already win a statewide primary election. JoshuaZ 14:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Although that's true, I'd say the real question is: If he fails, will he still meet WP:PROF at that time? Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia (not a directory or newspaper), we should only keep articles with long-term notability. But it looks like he might meet that standard.
