Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:JUDGE. Lack of secondary coverage. Let'srun (talk) 16:39, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - The source for section "Schoharie County Judge" says "In unofficial polling, Ryan McAllister of Cobleskill got 9,996 votes to become the next Schoharie County Judge, Surrogate and Family Court Judge." Judges are not seated through "unofficial polling ". Trump nominated him to be a judge, but he was rejected by the United States Senate. Justia site still lists him as a lawyer. A Google search doesn't bring up much else. — Maile (talk) 22:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to existing Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies per suggestion below. This makes perfect sense. — Maile (talk) 13:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is a dearth of secondary coverage and this article will not stand the test of time. Unless McAllister becomes noteworthy through other career advancements, he is not WP:Notable as defined. I vote to delete. Go4thProsper (talk) 00:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Same as a failed political candidate, didn't make it to office and notability isn't apparent otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 03:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative proposal: Merge all otherwise non-notable failed presidential judicial nominees into a single article along the lines of Unsuccessful Donald Trump judicial nominations. We can preserve a truncated form of the data in one place, without reaching individual notability concerns. BD2412 T 21:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think a redirect to Donald Trump judicial appointment controversies makes more sense, seeing as there is already a description of the WP:BLP1E for this nominee and the other non-notable failed presidential judicial nominees, along with details about specific dates regarding the nomination process and why the nomination ultimately failed. As it is, the list of otherwise non-notable judicial nominees for Trump is fairly small and I don't think there is the needed SIGCOV. Let'srun (talk) 15:23, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing out the existing article. I've changed my selection/support to the redirect. — Maile (talk) 13:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
