Non-notable biography. Of the 18 sources in the article, half of them don't even mention the subject. The others are all mentions in passing, some related to his poker radio show, some related to his failed politics run, and one about him looking at a flag when he was 4 years old as a casual public interest piece. There is nothing here to meet any of our notability guidelines, and I can't find anything further online. I previously moved this article to draft to allow for improvement, and later tagged it for notability, but both of my efforts were reverted by the page creator, who has only ever contributed to this page. – bradv 🍁 02:35, 14 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jack McAdoo. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 2600:6C5A:1480:2C8F:D895:31BF:3BC0:423E ( talk) 14:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• This page has been corrected as to the discussion below. All of the links mentioned have been removed. It is now virtually identical in subject matter to the page of Karen_Kilgariff that has been published for reference. Thank you. I also see that the discussion about deletion has been placed in areas that have nothing to do with the subject of the article. It almost feels personal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darcel2268 ( talk • contribs) 14:54, November 14, 2019 (UTC)

  Darcel2268, please don't attempt to move the article while it is being discussed at WP:AFD. I have restored it to article-space. – bradv 🍁 15:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete – Non-notable person. Cannot find much, if anything, that would count as sigcov. The references in the article do not demonstrate notability. The first four appear to be links to the homepages of the schools attended – no mention of the subject – and the rest are just passing mentions. Creator has stated at the help desk that they are employed by an organisation of which the subject is CEO; disclosures per WP:PAID not yet complied with.

• Delete. As well as reasons mentioned above, the references are not actual references, they are simply links to the organisations mentioned, and do not support the claims made. ArkayusMako ( talk) 11:20, 15 November 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete. The few sources here are covering him entirely in the context of his unsuccessful run for county commissioner — but non-winning candidates for political office do not get articles just for being candidates, and that's especially true at local levels of office, like county commission, where even winning the seat would still not have been enough. But there are no sources demonstrating his notability as a podcaster either. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist; nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over WP:GNG on the sourcing.
