I came across this article and nominated it for deletion before I realized it had been nominated before. Notwithstanding the previous discussions, my reaction to the article was: there is no way this guy should have an article, period. He fails WP:POLITICIAN easily. So he ran for office and got a few notes in the local papers pointing this out, so what? Anybody can do that. He has accomplished exactly nothing in his life that I can see that remotely warrants an article. He got less than 30% of the vote, running for Congress as a Republican in Virginia, which frankly I think my dog could do better than that. He has absolutely no public service record whatsoever that I can see. He managed to get the Republican nomination for Congress because a popular incumbent was running for the other party and no one else wanted to run except a Paulist. No article. (N.B.: as far as WP:GNG, please note that his coverage which is significant is not important (an interview, but in an online-only entity) and that which is important is not significant (a notable local paper, but only a brief description of his activities. Let's not let GNG blind us to the simple fact that people like this should not have articles.) Herostratus ( talk) 06:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC) reply
