Jay Footlik[edit]

This page reads like an ad, and has been like this for all of its life. It's a blatant advertisement by a campaign, and until it can be written in a biographical way, it should not be here. Keeleysam (talk) 03:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:BIO. Merely being a candidate for Congress is not notable and there is no other obvious claim. Wikipedia is not an election information resource and has no obligation to provide biographies of all candidates. --Dhartung | Talk 04:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per abvoe, but also fails WP:BLP for failing to have NO reliable sources. I might be inclined to vote for the guy if I could, but until he is notable, he's out of WP. Bearian (talk) 02:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this non-notable biography that reads exactly like a campaign ad. --Lockley (talk) 15:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete under both CSD-A7 and CSD-G11. He was a presidential staffer under Clinton - that is the most notable thing in the article and that is insufficient for inclusion as a standalone article. Let this person pay for airtime on television in order to educate the public about his campaign position rather than use Wikipedia as a soapbox. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
