Most of the coverage is either trivial or routine. Fails WP:NPOL. Should really be a redirect, but keeps getting re-added. If this person wins, then the article should be reinstated, but right now he's one of several minor players in a run-off election. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:22, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and protect He's not presently notable, but his name is a valid search term for Georgia's 6th congressional district special election, 2017. I created this as a redirect to see newly registered accounts (sock or meatpuppets possibly) try to force this into an article. It should be a redirect for the time being and hopefully an admin can protect it so that it can't be edited until a convincing case for GNG can be made. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:27, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no objection to redirect. fails WP:POL. Probably is a candidate for WP:SALT based on the complaints of recreation above. Jbh^Talk 03:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC) Last edited: 03:45, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it would be better to protect it as a redirect because he could become notable, possibly even if he loses. If he wins he's a member of the U.S. Congress. Either way it's clear an admin should prevent it from becoming a full article unless there's good reason to do so. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Favored candidate on the democratic side, leading the polls, and generating national press, endorsements, and fundraising. - modern_seneca (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2017 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
- Please read WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. He doesn't (yet) meet those. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:08, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wouldn't WP:POLITICIAN be satisfied via item 2? Receiving significant local press coverage and endorsements from 3 of the biggest Democratic figures in GA? By my reading of WP:GNG it is satisfied, which bullet point there would you say is not met? - modern_seneca (talk) 06:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
