******A reason has been given, and articulated. We don't delete "every article about a newbie like me", just those that fail our inclusion guidelines. In this case we've certainly given a reason - he fails [[WP:POLITICIAN|our inclusion guidelines]] for politicians, and the sourcing given (local papers, exactly what you'd expect from a candidate) is not enough to fulfil other requirements.

fails WP:POLITICIAN. Only coverage is the standard local dross you'd expect from any congressional candidate Ironholds (talk) 20:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Delete One of the articles even says that this guy does not have a shot at unseating the incumbent. No real notability outside the locality either, unless he wins Corpx (talk) 21:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- Let's just let it stand for awhile. The campaign is just getting started, and he could (and probably will) pick up steam. NYyankees51 (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- "it will be notable in six months" is listed under Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions; it's a bad idea to make it. Obviously since you created the article I hardly expected a delete vote, but one that doesn't go directly against long-established advise would be nice. Ironholds (talk) 12:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- The article is well-written and well-researched and well-cited, if I do say so myself. I don't see any good reason to delete this. It's unfair that every article made by a newbie like me gets deleted for no reason, or a reason that is not articulated. NYyankees51 (talk) 21:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
