[edit] Mike Dugas

Political vanity bio of a failed congressional candidate. Delete. Calton | Talk 06:46, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, plenty young enough to make it one day but running for the House and failing isn't enough yet. Dcarrano 07:48, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable vanity. JamesBurns 10:01, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--major party nominees for national legislatures are encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not paper. Meelar (talk) 14:18, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, per Meelar. Wikipedia is not a popularity contest. Kappa 14:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, insufficiently notable. Just in the USA there are 435 losing "major party nominees for national legislature" every two years. Multiply a few hundred losing candidates by 150 or so countries with national legislatures, and we'll soon create PoliticalWannabeWiki. Wikipedia is not a forum for advancing oneself in a popularity contest. Barno 15:50, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Correction: 468 or 469 such people every two years in the USA. Barno 00:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Insignificant failed minor candidate. Reads like a vanity page. Gamaliel 16:41, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Failed minor candidate. --Carnildo 20:14, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Dwain 20:53, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete insignificant. was not a hotly contested race. he was a token candidate. as such, non notable and delete. --jonasaurus 21:17, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN. Oliver Keenan 21:29, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but Rewrite -- currently unsources/POV, e.g. unsourced statement: "Political analysts and State Party officals saw Dugas' 2004 run for Congress as a training zone for potential political ventures for the future." Was apparently mentioned on The Daily Show, however, in addition to being an endorsed GOP candidate, so notable. siafu 23:20, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not elected = not notable. Radiant_>|< 08:46, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep a major party nom. for a nat'l legislature. Youngamerican 12:53, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Barno. If he continues in politics he may become notable in the future. Quale 07:14, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It looks like Dr. Dugas student has an axe to grind in wanting to delete this entry. If you look a little closer...Notice the individual who first started this deletion thread is a student in the Sacramento area...the same region where Professor Dugas taught Stats classes. Wiki should be an enviroment that does not cave in to angry students. 03:09, 18 July 2005 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.126.208.186 (talk • contribs)
• Keep This man is actually a poliitcal figure among the new age of Republicans in California. I've seen him interviewed on Fox 40 News here during the election and I was impressed (even though I didn't care much for his politics). Also note that the name Mike Dugas appears in {"U.S. House election, 2004"]. He isnt really a forigen insertion into the wiki database. User:Hillary2008

• User's ninth edit.

• Keep. Major party candidate in a national congressional race is notable enough. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:59, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
