I would hope the article is no longer flagged for deletion. This morning, a brother priest asked me if I had thoughts or suggestions about what comments to include at an event which is intended to lobby for the congressman's support of something related to the dream Act students. I found it very useful that there is a Wikipedia article on the congressman, and personally, I think it should be considered automatic that all elected officials in federal Government ought to have articles, even if only to say that they are elected officials currently serving in the federal government.

early 2012 comment

In my opinion, this article either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Academics, Biographies, Organizations and companies, Fiction, Music, Films, Web content, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

2012

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of third-party sources in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones, or self-published sources) suggests to some editors that multiple independent reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Example (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make some constructive improvements to it … I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings … I apologize if some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case.

The guy is a candidate, not a politician. He is not noteworthy yet (though he may be if he gets elected) Buffalodan (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He passes WP:GNG. His upset primary win, knocking off the incumbent, has been covered extensively on a national basis. He is a virtual lock to win the general election in the overwhelmingly Republican Oklahoma 1st District (and if by some extraordinary event he doesn't, that would be notable as well!) There's nothing to be gained by deleting this article now. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay. I did a quick google and everything came up from Tulsa news sources. But if the guy gets mentioned in HuffPost (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/27/oklahoma-primary-results-2012_n_1629540.html) and the LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-tea-party-favorite-tops-fiveterm-congressman-in-oklahoma-primary-20120627,0,1762255.story) that works for me.

Rocket Racing

Bridenstine was apparently involved in sponsoring/leading a team in the not-quite-off-the-ground-yet Rocket Racing League; he apparently flew one of the rocket racers in the Oklahoma airshow in 2010. Here is a source. ^[1] I imagine many more could be found in the Oklahoma press around the time of the April 2010 event mentioned, and sourced, on that article page.

"The Rocket Racing League announced a "2010 World Exhibition Tour" on April 24, 2010, when they unveiled their Mark-III X-racer rocket plane at the QuikTrip Air & Rocket Racing Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This was the first time RRL demonstrated two rocket racers in the air at the same time. The league's intent in such exhibitions is to "build up the league's fan base, in addition to perfecting operations and technologies, before the league's official launch in 2012."[15]"

Not sure this is worth much for this article on the congressman, but it seems usual to have a bit of personal and hobby descriptive stuff in these sorts of WP:BLP articles. Cheers. N2e (talk) 05:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a specific source that mentions the pilot is Jim Bridenstine: Blast Off With Rocket League Racing, August 2008, NewsOn6.com

Need for correction

Under "2012 Election", the wrong congressional district is named: "In November, he defeated Democratic nominee John Olson 63%-32% in Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district." Should be 1st — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.233.37 (talk) 12:29, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
