[edit] Will McBride (candidate)

Will McBride (candidate) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Losing candidate in Florida Senate primary. No other assertions of notability and no sources. Previous AfD was when he was still in the news. Keep endorsements tended to be provisional on his winning the primary. He did not, so here we are. DarkAudit 17:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. User:Tyler4pres has deleted most of the article several times. The latest time [1] it remained deleted. There were 11 references in the preceding version.[2] PrimeHunter 17:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Most of the biographical information does not assert notability. The sources, although statewide, are still for the most part restricted to central and south Florida. DarkAudit 19:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO, namely, this line: "Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures." He doesn't fit under any of those. Whsitchy 20:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Sources there may be, but it fails notability per the above criterion. Adrian M. H. 21:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

• delete i'd say to delete this article, clearly, but i woudl argue that the criteria used above needs to be probably be revisted. There are notable people who ran for office who never actually held it, i.e. Ross Perot, Lyndon LaRouche. Barsportsunlimited 23:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Ross Perot was a major 3rd party candidate for president. This guy didn't even make it past the primary. There's a big difference. Whsitchy 00:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Ross Perot would be notable had he never run for office. Larouche's notability is as much in his political organization as in his presidential runs. --Charlene 10:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment to Barsportsunlimited. Read the context in WP:BIO. It doesn't say people are automatically non-notable just because they lost an election. PrimeHunter 11:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - not in office and no other notable accomplishments -- Whpq 21:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
