[edit] Edit

I removed the line about Alexander being the first member of an ethnic minory group on the presidential ticket. SP 1992 vice presidential candidate Bill Edwards was apparently an African American. Edwards died during the campaign and was replaced with Barbara Garson. Certainly Alexander is not the first member of an ethnic minority group the SP has nominated for that office, the question is whether Alexander is the first person of color. That also appears not to be the case. -Matt E.

Evidence would be expected before removing a cited section, especially without a user name and without explanation. If evidence is seen, it would make sense to remove the statement. KV(Talk) 02:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Besides, that would leave him still the first on the ticket, just not the first nominated. The statement would be better improved with a citation that Bill Edwards was an African American nominated and then passed away during the campaign. KV(Talk) 03:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
We can find that Edwards was nominated here, but we need some sort of evidence that he is African American yet. KV(Talk) 03:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox

I just want to let everyone know that User:King Vegita/Stewart Alexander (politician) is up to do the sandbox stuff to get his political career on track. It's not seeming easy to find too many sources, so the sandbox may be our best bet for right now. KV(Talk) 23:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

It also has been brought to my attention that much biographical information is available at his new site: www.stewartalexandercares.com. He apparently added a biography section that was not on salt-g. So, if anyone wants to cull that for information, I cannot work on this probably until the end of the week. So beat me to it.

[edit] AfD considerations

Seeing as the article is for deletion noting it's stub-like appearance and lack of standard citation format, let's get working on building up the article. The consensus is that adding citations and the like is of primary concern.KV(Talk) 20:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability Info

There's very little here about what makes SA notable, which is his Socialist Party campaign for Vice-President of the United States. A section on that should be added. Chegitz (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It occurs to me that if the Socialist Party USA is notable enough to have an article than their official VP candidate should also be notablke enough to have one too.--Dr who1975 (talk) 19:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
