Unsuccessful candidate in an election, no other claim to notability. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 03:35, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete at one time our guidelines held that holders of major party nominations in US house races were notable, we have since realized that many of these people just do not have enough reliable source coverage and we have made our notability criteria stricter. Emery does not meet our current notability criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:37, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:NPOL as defeated political candidate and has no other claim to notability. AusLondonder (talk) 04:06, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unelected candidates do not get articles just for being candidates, and this makes no credible claim that he has preexisting notability for anything else. Bearcat (talk) 21:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No non-election-related notability found, not even the fact that he once dressed as Arnold Schwarzenegger for a Halloween.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:29, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When I searched Google for "Ed Emery (Ohio politician)" I got "about 8,080,000 results." One was about him getting in trouble over theft: http://www.toledoblade.com/Courts/2011/07/14/Jury-convicts-Ed-Emery-in-theft-of-metal-castings.html But I wonder if the proliferation of Google hits is a symptom of mistaken Identity. Did he move to Missouri and get elected? http://www.house.mo.gov/member.aspx?district=126&year=2009 Just asking before making a rush to judgement. --Truthtests (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Emery (Ohio politician) and Ed Emery (Missouri politician) are not the same person. The Ohio politician ran for an Ohio Congressional seat in 2006, while the Missouri politician's first term of office was in 2003. --Enos733 (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
