Aaron Ross Owens[edit]

Vanity article which I believe fails WP:POLITICIAN. Failed candidate for state assembly. Written by sole author with same username as subject; author has contested PROD and removed coi tag. RayAYang (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Self promotion is not permitted, and this article may even be a CSD:G11 candidate. 206.116.63.240 (talk) 01:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Irrelevant of sources, fails WP:POLITICIAN. Definitely appears to be self promoting. LonelyBeacon (talk) 04:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - he is not a politician, he just worked for some unsuccessful candidates. "Winning" an uncontested election to be Vice Chairmanof a county committee is no where near being a politician or being notable; being a spin doctor perhaps. Racepacket (talk) 04:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - the sources (well, some of them) seem to be reliable enough, and back up his notability. 78.146.213.30 (talk) 18:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sources must be independent as well as reliable. Things such as a LWV candidate guide come with the role of running for office and are not indicators of notability. --Dhartung | Talk 03:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no real indicators of notability, sources chiefly fail independence, and jobs are below WP:POLITICIAN inherent notability standards. --Dhartung | Talk 03:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Dhartung. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. We may want to courtesy blank this discussion, I suppose. The Evil Spartan (talk) 22:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:POLITICIAN. --Crusio (talk) 15:50, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
