The result was Delete without prejudice (talk page kept) to re-creation should notability be established. A person who runs for office and fails to be elected may be otherwise notable (the best example in recent American history might be Ross Perot). As the evidence currently stands, Shane Sklar does not fall into that category; should his notability be established in relation to Ron Paul, the question would need to be asked "should Shane Sklar have an article or should he be relegated to a section of the article on Ron Paul?" on the basis of independent vs. inextricably dependent notability. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 14:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC) reply

- Politicians:
Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[9] Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[10] Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such a person may be notable for other reasons besides their political careers alone.
