non notable election of non notable person to non notable position. WuhWuzDat 19:51, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence this particular office or its officeholder meets WP:POLITICIAN. No indication of significant non-local press coverage of this election. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article doesn't even identify what state "Polk County" is in. A 100% to 0% uncontested election isn't apt to be of much historical interest either... Carrite (talk) 20:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From the Snopes article, it would be Polk County, Florida. Tangurena (talk) 16:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having just read that, I feel there might possibly be a case for an article on the Sheriff himself, but not on this election. Very much 'possibly' - there'd need to be some other items to fill it out. Peridon (talk) 16:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per WP:GNG. Uncontested elections are very rarely notable, and as the position or the holder aren't notable either, delete, delete, delete. Claritas § 20:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My initial reaction was, "So ***** what?". My more considered response is exactly the same. I do, however, experience a minor wonder what would have happened if no-one had actually bothered to vote for him.... Judging from another edit by the creator, this is Polk in Florida. Not that that makes any difference. Peridon (talk) 21:51, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
