Sources[edit]

The assertions in this article need to be cited to independent, third-party, and reliable sources. Kablammo (talk) 20:15, 20 September 2018 (UTC) And statements which state his positions can be cited to him or his campaign website, provided that there is in-text attribution so that the reader knows that those statement were made by or on behalf of him. Statements which are not so cited must be removed. I have added ^{[citation needed]} tags to some of these uncited statements; there are others. Please provide supportive cites, or the assertions will be deleted. Kablammo (talk) 19:18, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, although it started that way. I have copyedited it for neutrality, and deleted self-sourcing and found third-party sources. I did leave in two references to his website, with in-text attribution there, for assertions that do not seem controversial. --Kablammo (talk) 19:44, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is being put up for deletion under the argument that it doesn't meet the standards of WP:NPOL. However, that policy also states that "such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article.'"

This is a campaign ad[edit]

Portions of the text in this article read almost word for word from Mr. Feehan's campaign radio ad scripts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tre.taliesin (talk • contribs) 21:16, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
