[edit] Jeff Sinnard

Non-notable politician. Only ran for one office, in 2005, garnering 2.0% of the vote in the June primaries. ral315 18:15, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete--minor candidate who's never held a significant office. Very inspiring Toqueville stuff about standing up for his beliefs and participating, but he only managed 47 signatures on the nominating petition. Meelar (talk) 19:26, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep strongly. Proposer has moved that Sinnard and other candidates in the June 14th primary be removed on the grounds they did not do well. He has an article so to make a complete record of the election. I do not think it fair to decide legitimate candidates for an important office do not merit articles because they did not do well in the campaign. Some of those he proposes for deletion have won local offices (e.g. Eric Minamyer) and if we delete them, then we'll have to prevent nearly all local officials from getting any attention at all. And Sinnard had to have had more than 47 names--you needed fifty to make the ballot. PedanticallySpeaking 14:42, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. For the most part, local officials DO NOT have their own pages, unless you're talking a large town, or they have some other reason for notability. The mayors of Grand Rapids, Michigan, a city of nearly 200,000 people, and Lansing, Michigan, state capital and home of nearly 120,000 people, don't even have articles. ral315 22:44, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
