• Delete. If he wins, he gets an article, but until then the only media attention he has seems to be by the Libertarian party themselves, so he fails WP:BIO --Mnemeson 16:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable in reliable sources. If such sources existed, the fact that this article reads like an advertisement would not be ground for deletion, but rather for appropriate tags or rewriting to conform to said sources. Notability should not be used as a ground for deletion when adequate, independent grounds exist that are based entirely on Wikipedia policy. · j e r s y k o talk · 17:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Fails On October 19th, 2006 a Debate will take place in Belleville, IL. All major third-party candidates have been invited and given the initial indication that they will attend. Clearly Mark McCoy is a notable politician in Illinois. The incumbents would love this entry deleted because they see Mark McCoyas a viable threat to win. Although Mark's campaign is only 10 days old - there is already significant interest throughout the state, an official endorsement by the Libertarian Party of Illinois, and debates are currently being planned with other all major third party candidates. Mark McCoy was recently a featured speaker at the state convention in Springfield, Illinois Please do not censor Mark McCoy because he has yet to win office. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shellin (talk • contribs) .
