[edit] Hiram Lewis

Failed candidate for Republican nom for US Senate who also fails WP:BIO (although his military service is commendable); I would make a snide comment here, but he was in the Rangers and they are trained to kill with their bare hands JChap (talk • contribs) 01:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Confused I think the article is written by someone who knew this guy, but it's not a vanity article since it doesn't praise his qualities. Also this guy has won a lot of medals in the army but it is to be noted that most of army medals are just won 'if u serve in Iraq' --Ageo020 01:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:BIO and the article is unsourced. -- Koffieyahoo 02:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete--Peta 03:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: He was a candidate who didn't win the nomination. That puts him in non-exclusive company. Geogre 04:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete He was a Republican candidate from West Virginia that couldn't win his party's nomination. If Jay Wolfe isn't notable enough for an article, what does it make this guy? (John Raese has achieved notability outside of his Senate run.) --DarkAudit 14:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO. Not notable. Scorpiondollprincess 15:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as insufficiently notable and not verified. Bucketsofg✐ 23:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I say go ahead and delete it. The article itself was written by somebody who worked for his campaign (I heard it was a volunteer who tried his hardest to become a paid staffer...) Hiram Lewis is dead politically in the state of West Virginia, and I do not believe he can re-invent himself. I do know a few of his staffers that did work on the campaign and he still owes them money, and they don't think very highly of Mr. Lewis. Why do I think this article should be deleted? Simple; he lost his race to take on Robert C Byrd, and is no longer relevant to this race.
