Non notable politician, mayor of small town WuhWuzDat 19:03, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - After cleaning up the POV on the article and looking for sources, I don't think this person meets WP:POLITICIAN or WP:BIO. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 19:05, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to Stillwater, Minnesota as article fails notability criteria for politicians, but is a valid search term. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 19:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you censor comments about a mayor who is using your media as a free ad instead of simply deleting it as suggested? Elections have finite time frames and every day he gets your unabashed support is un-American! Either allow comments about his failed mayorship, or take the topic totally down. If you do not, I will file a complaint with the election board regarding your campaign ad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.196.123.181 (talk) 00:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC) — 184.196.123.181 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete - This article is a blatant attempt to get free campaign advertising. The links all point to the current re-election campaign.173.141.47.243 (talk) 15:59, 27 August 2010 (UTC) — 173.141.47.243 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- I disagree with your analysis that the article is blatant advertising. It's pretty simple with minimal content. It doesn't even mention that he's running for re-election. It certainly is not true that all the links point to his campaign. One of the sources is a local news article about all the candidates. The other one uses his campaign website to verify biographical information. In addition, I don't believe the sourcing violates WP:RS. The issue here is that subject fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and most likely the article will be deleted in a couple of days. P. D.

Delete and redirect to Stillwater, Minnesota - per nom, is a non-notable politician whose article fails both WP:POLITICIAN or WP:BIO; however, it is a viable search term, and should redirect to the article about the town/city. --- Barek (talk) - 17:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
