[edit] Terry Holly

Terry Holly (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-elected candidate for the United States House of Representatives. I believe such politicians do not meet WP:BIO. Tizio 11:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, failed election candidates are generally not held to be notable. Lankiveil 12:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete WP:BIO is pretty clear on politicians. Just having run is way below the requirements, thus fails WP:N. Pedro |  Chat  12:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - doesn't meet what's required in WP:BIO. Lradrama 13:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, failed candidates who have no other claim to fame, so to speak, do not pass notability standards. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I continue to think that major party candidates in the US who have the party nomination for national legislature should be considered notable. I know this is not yet the practice, but I think it ought to be. DGG (talk) 16:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • You may be on to something there, but for what it's worth, Mr. Holly ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 16:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no indication that Mr. Holly is notable for anything other than being one party's sacrificial lamb in a noncompetitive district. NawlinWiki 16:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Oli Filth 17:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Oh well, he can always use his political experiences as the basis for a self-published book, and then we can delete him again. Qworty 19:04, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The reason I tagged this article for delection was because the candidate's last name is actually spelled "Holley" Qqqqqq 23:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
