The result was redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio, 2012#District 10. The Bushranger One ping only 01:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC) reply
It is political silly season once again. Being a candidate for office is not in itself an automatic notability qualifier, they have to have done something, anything, else...something significant to catch the attention of reliable sources and satisfy the general notability guide. This person in question though not notable in the slightest, having only run a failed campaign in 2008. What scant appearances there are in sources such as the Dayton Daily News is a single name-drop with no depth, or endorsements that are routine in an election year, i.e. the Emily's List link. All in all, no WP:POLITICIAN #3 of that guideline talks about this kind of candidate in particular. Note that redirects to the district were rejected by an anon IP (one that geolocates to Dayton, Ohio, the candidate's home turf, so we're dealing with a probably conflict of interest here as well) Tarc ( talk) 00:11, 26 July 2012 (UTC) reply
WP:POLITICIAN guidelines only dictate that the politician in question has received significant press coverage - a dozen articles in various media sources seems like it would suit this requirement. The subject of the article also has qualifications other than political campaigning, including significant local notoriety due to work with a land trust, which is also documented with sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.241.113 ( talk) 02:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC) — 98.218.241.113 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
Keep this article - The US House of Representatives only has 435 representatives. Being a candidate for this office is notable in and of itself. In Ohio - a state of 11 million people - there are only 32 candidates for US representative. This particular race is competitive. An increasing number of voters will be looking to learn about Ms. Neuhardt. Finally, few voters know the name of their district, this is especially true this year after redistricting. Wikipedia users will be looking for Ms. Neuhardt's bio, not a description of the race itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.56.99.178 ( talk) 15:51, 28 July 2012 (UTC) — 64.59.99.178 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
