American county-level politician who fails WP:NPOL and has no other claim to notability. Previous AfD four years ago closed as no consensus and featured numerous flawed arguments. AusLondonder (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:NPOL and still in my mind fails WP:GNG due to the very local element of the coverage. SportingFlyer T·C 15:50, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
delete As someone from the area, he was someone who was CE when things just went along without notable events. Pretty much just a name on a list. Mangoe (talk) 15:58, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral: Parsing through newspapers.com, there are quite a lot of mentions of Ecker (around 6,000); now of course most appear to be passing mentions, but there are a few that do provide WP:SIGCOV ([1] [2]; in addition to [3] [4]) that get this article just over the nominal threshold for WP:GNG, with smaller mentions (like [5] [6] [7]) able to fill in the gaps of content. However, all of the sources seem to be WP:LOCAL, and I'm not sure they are necessarily strong enough to assuage that concern. Curbon7 (talk) 16:15, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Funny little tidbit: there is an entire article dedicated solely to his muscle car [8]. Curbon7 (talk) 16:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
