Nonnotable local political activist. Contested speedy (see talk page). NawlinWiki 12:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Articles have begun to appear for Candidates for Electon to Young Republican National Federation written by several users. Such persons are notable to those searching for Republican persons. Djtierney 13:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment See just because other articles exist on similar topics doesn't mean the article in question should be kept. If those people are similarly nonnotable, their articles will also be deleted in time. NawlinWiki 14:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Further comment "Articles have begun to appear..." -- nice use of passive voice. What you meant to say was "I have started writing scads of articles on Team Murphy members." This violates WP:COI. If I hadn't started this AFD, I would speedy it myself. I am speedying all the other ones. NawlinWiki 21:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Running for, or even being elected to, an office within the youth division of a political party is not enough in itself to satisfy WP:BIO. Most of the other candidates linked here look like they should have their articles deleted as well. --Metropolitan90 18:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete in agreement with Metropolitan90. In past AfD discussions, it has been consistently the consensus among experienced editors that political youth organizations don't provide automatic notability even to their national officers, let alone to their candidates or to local group officials. To pass WP:BIO, such a person must have been a primary subject of third-party coverage that says more than "this group exists on campus and So-and-so is its chairman".

  • Comment It should be noted that, while a youth organization, Young Republicans are more of a professional organization and are generally not campus organiztions like College Democrats or Teenage Republicans. MLester53 21:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • True, but no one is proposing the deletion of the Young Republicans entry, just standalone pages of officer candidates. -- MarcoTolo 03:05, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable individual running for a youth political office. Montco 03:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as Team Murphy member. (Okay, that's not really a reason.) Delete as failing WP:V and WP:BIO. -- MarcoTolo 03:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
