Fails WP:POLITICIAN, candidate for city council without any other signs of notability. ☾Loriendrew☽ (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I did not create the article, but I improved it, and I believe the stub was created in good faith.

Additional references will be added LATE tonight and tomorrow to establish notability. If you are looking for a reason to delete, any one will do. If you are looking for reasons not to, you can find them. *Disclaimer-Editorializing- Our system is messed up with rules so strongly favoring the establishment that nobody running for office is given the chance to establish notability unless they have already been elected. I'll go cite a couple more sources for you and put them on the talk page. There is no need to arrogantly delete everything right away, since there will be about a thousand people who find the Wiki article useful if you just let it stay up until May 9th.DCdanielcaldwell 03:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwaysremember ( talkcontribs)

  • Delete. Does not appear to meet WP:POLITICIAN. The only information I can find is routine election coverage. WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a reason to keep it. -- Kinu  t/ c 19:15, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete People "running for office" are not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article. -- NeilN talk to me 04:25, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The Caldwell article was tagged for speedy delete, and I deleted it. Caldwell (who is Alwaysremember above), vigorously complained on my talk page here. I'm tempted to speedy delete this article as recommended by RHaworth, but I'll let another administrator deal with it, either through the usual week-long AfD or whatever they think is appropriate.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 04:36, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN, and Ballotpedia is user edited, and not a reliable source. The other reference is a routine list of candidates. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:47, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy delete per A7: "Candidate for … City Council" is not a claim of significance or importance. If a credible claim is added, then Delete as non-notable. — teb728 t c 06:56, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Election campaigning is an abuse of Wikipedia. This should have been speedied, instead we are now forced to waste several days on going through the motions just to get rid of a blatantly spammy non-notable topic. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 17:30, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply
