*'''Delete'''. Articles about non-notable local politicians are inevitably targets for either puffery (as is the case here) or attack jobs, given the absence of reliable sources on which a proper article can be built. That's why we delete them. --[[User:Mkativerata|Mkativerata]] ([[User talk:Mkativerata|talk]]) 01:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC) |

*'''Keep'''. Please point out the "Puffery" as it doesnt seem to appear to me... Merriam Webster defines a politician as: 1: a person experienced in the art or science of government; especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government 2a : a person engaged in party politics as a profession. This subject falls under at least one if not both of those definitions. As far as verifiable sources - does anyone here know about google? It took 10 seconds to find the following: High Traffic Local Media Outlet lists subject as "Who is 'Hot' in RI" http://www.golocalprov.com/politics/side-of-the-rhode-whos-hot-and-whos-not-in-ri-politics/ Yet another piece from same outlet. http://www.golocalprov.com/politics/gop-candidates-downplay-party-endorsement-of-opponents/ Local Paper http://www.cranstononline.com/view/full_story/10084730/article-No-seat-goes-unchallenged-for-Cranston-City-Council?instance=right_col_latest_news |

Unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of the BLP, thus does not meet GNG or BASIC. The subject also does not meet POLITICIAN in that he has not held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, he merely ran for state office. This article was previously deleted via PROD but reinstated after the decision was contested. J04n(talk page) 19:35, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

- Delete Fails our notability guideline for politicians, and there is no evidence that he has received in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources for his political consulting work. Sources provided don't qualify. Cullen328 (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete per my prod rationale. I could find no non-trivial sources independent of the subject. The best simply noted his election losses. And for the record, I'm not an American, let alone a "whiny democrat" as suggested by the
poteditor contesting the prod. Or perhaps Joe was the target of that. None the less, I have no COI here. Electrified Fooling Machine (talk) 20:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC) - Delete.
