[edit] Steve Adams (political candidate)

Steve Adams (political candidate) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable presidential long-shot, the article admits that he can't even be in the ballot in most states Delete-- Jaranda wat's sup 22:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. The article contains no reliable third-party sources to establish notability among presidential candidates. Wikipedia is not a campaign advertising host. ≈≈Carolfrog≈≈♦тос♦ 00:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete the article contained no sources at all to establish notability at anything. Campaign platform, and, if it wouldn't be stretching things too much, an advertisement speedy-able as G11. DGG (talk) 01:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete, reads like a campaign ad. If it was written like a real article with independent sources then I would say keep. Callelinea 02:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'll admit it needs some work, but thats no reason to delete it. If it reads like an ad, rewrite it so it doesn't. Previous AFD debated (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Schriner) have confirmed that as long as the candidate has a campaign, it is notable. It just can't be some guy who says he is running but doesn't actually campaign. I actually listed Schriner for deletion, but I changed my mind after the debate. 11kowrom 03:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment The AFD you cite was closed as "no consensus" so it certainly is not a precedent. Of four votes, I rate two as highly suspect single-purpose accounts. --Dhartung | Talk 04:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, we need sources to establish notability, not guesses. --Dhartung | Talk 04:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as failing WP:BIO. Any idiot can call himself a candidate for President and set up a website. Doesn't make them notable.Montco 05:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as an unsourced biography of a very minor candidate.-- danntm T C 16:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete nn per nom. Carlossuarez46 23:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as noted above. I am genuinely sorry about this one, as he seems to be nice guy (although pro-life). This guy is a hole in the ground, and I can not even guess whether he has a real campaign or not without at least one reference. Bearian 18:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I cannot believe this kind of junk exists. Speedy deletion, poste haste, thanks. Gautam Discuss 22:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - Assuming this page gets deleted, would this be grounds for deletion for Joe Schriner as well? 11kowrom 05:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
