[edit] Mike Wiley

Three assertions of notability are made, and the article fails on all three counts. His notability is asserted as a politician, but he has never held office, having failed twice to be elected to Congress; he therefore fails WP:POLITICIAN. His notability is asserted as an author, but all he's ever done in the world of letters is pay notorious vanity-press AuthorHouse for publication (which is something anyone with a checkbook can do), thus failing WP:BK. His notability is asserted as a radio personality, but he was at a small local station that doesn't place him over the WP:BIO bar. His greatest claim to fame is that Hillary Clinton's brother once trounced him in a primary, but bear in mind WP:NOTINHERITED. I just don't see notability in the cards for this one.

• Delete. Good call. A bunch of small claims to notability that just don't add up to meet the WP:BIO standard. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per well-reasoned nomination. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
