[edit] Simon Ribeiro

I believe this was added by Mr. Ribeiro as an advertisement for his Senate campaign. Other than the fact that he seems to be currently running for U..S. Congress, I don't see anything in here to indicate notability, as it's a general guideline that being related to notable people doesn't confer notability. Joyous | Talk 01:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment, doesn't count as advertisement as the candidate already lost --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 01:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. US Congress candidates that win are notable. US Congress candidates that lose are not (unless of course they were notable before being a candidate, but in this case that doesn't really apply).--TBC^{??? ??? ???} 01:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. It seems that Mr Ribeiro is a losing candidate for the Republican Party primary who is standing for the Christian Party. He appears to have received 2000 votes in the primary so would be an outside chance in the election. No other claims to notability. Capitalistroadster 03:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per the nomination. Unencyclopedic, non-notable. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 03:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete looks something like a badly written college application, if kept 95% of the content should be deleted. --Ajdz 05:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nothing of note here Deizio 12:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. So vain..... please let someone else write the biography, as per Wikipedia: Autobiography. -- PFHLai 12:49, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Flcelloguy (A note?) 15:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. He is highly non-notable, running a very losing cause in the 2006 election (the 1st district in Indiana is highly liberal, I think) and with no other good claims to notability. Grandmasterka 01:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. By the way, his user page has the same content. - Slo-mo 07:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete If radically NPOVed it might work. Startup account 21:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
