Bob Alexander (East Lansing, MI)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable politician; fails WP:POLITICIAN in that he was a losing candidate only. Fails the WP:GNG; GNews searches for combinations of "bob armstrong" "democrat" "east lansing" and "mike rogers" bring up assorted basketball players, video producers and a Texas land commissioner but no significant sources that discuss this person.

Redirect- To United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan, 2008#District 8, which gives the most information (includes unsuccessful 2004 candidacy), since no election coverage exists at Michigan's 8th congressional district, and the corresponding Michigan, 2004 subarticle does not yet exist.

Delete - was going to say redirect per Dru of Id, but title seems like unlikely search term. - Jorgath (talk) ^(contribs) 14:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could be moved to Bob Alexander (Michigan) or Bob Alexander (politician) (which already redirects there); Robert D. Alexander redirects there also. Dru of Id (talk) 15:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Unelected politician, which usually falls on the delete side of the line by consensus. I have personal views which lie outside of consensus on such matters but no specific opinion here. Carrite (talk) 16:18, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
