[edit] Team Murphy

Team Murphy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is more or less a campaign page for a group of people running for the Federation of Young Republicans, not for any government office. None of the current candidates hold any political office. In essence, non-notable political ticket with a definite POV. I am not suggesting that the Young Republicans article be deleted, just this and individual pages for the various candidates. I'll be submitting those individually. Montco 00:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Scant Google hits. Definitely appears to be vanity. Aplomado talk 00:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Question for both this and the following AfD. I notice there's no article for this organization they belong to (Young Republican National Federation). As opposed to the generalized movement Young Republicans. Is this "YRNF" a notable group in it's own right by Wikipedia standards? My thought is if that question can be answered, the sub-questions of these articles should be simpler. -Markeer 00:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Depends on your standards. I wouldn't think so. You will probably have the odd mention of the organization in media outlets in connection with a national campaign. But they don't do any major advertising during campaigns, rather its an organization that provides volunteers during campaigns and perhaps raises some funds. Speaking for my own YR organization, the group is at rest in between elections, only really moving forward once the party has determined its candidates for the fall elections.

    • The Young Republican National Federation is simply the national organization of the Young Republicans. It's not something different from them. --Metropolitan90 05:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete evidence suggests use of Wikipedia for raising the political profile of this organisation and of the individuals within it. This organisation fails WP:ORG, individuals fail WP:BIO; as per Metropolitan90 in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Audra Shay: "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" — BillC talk 01:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unverifiable, not notable or sourced, and putting {{future election in the United States}} on the article is simply ludicrous. --N Shar 02:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete reads like an add. --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 02:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete it fails WP:BIO and I agree with User:BillC that it looks like an attempt to raise awareness of their organization per Wikipedia.--John Lake 03:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete clear attempt to use Wikipedia to gain notability, rather than vice-versa.--Aervanath 04:06, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence of notability. No sources. --Shirahadasha 04:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for notability. Philippe Beaudette 04:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per so many reasons listed above. --Pigmantalk 05:03, 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. --Metropolitan90 05:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
