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

Fails WP:BASIC by a wide margin. With the exception of this article on the Local page of the Sioux City Iowa Journal, nothing but passing mentions and a few quotations found (even after asking author). WP:BLP1E (and not a very notable E) and WP:NOTINHERITED also apply. Toddst1 (talk) 13:59, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I disagree, a reasonably short search will see that he has many sources of citation and has sought publicity for his father and, in turn, his abilities as a political, pr, operative.--Wikipietime (talk) 14:04, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can find nothing of substance on Jeff. Even the CNN article mentions him in the context of his father (son signs on to a campaign which is an indicator of how his father is leaning - the important bit is what it says about his father's supposed views). Notability is not inherited. He may have worked for his father etc., but I am not seeing notability in its own right. Lard Almighty (talk) 07:59, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lard Almighty what about this statement "Except this article on the Local page of the Sioux City Iowa Journal, nothing but passing mentions and a few quotations found (even after asking author). " refering to http://siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/a1/jeff-king-plays-big-role-in-his-father-s-campaigns/article_0337fbe5-fd7c-52af-b9e9-c9b11bd38c42.html

It is of substance and by an Iowa institution Sioux City Journal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipietime (talk • contribs) 15:31, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of people who aren't notable play big roles in lots of things. Simply haven't come up with the kind of coverage (certainly not "many sources of citation") I would need to see to change my mind. Lard Almighty (talk) 17:10, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPOL, & WP:GNG. Mr. King is the son of and is/was the campaign manager for his father Steve King, the Congressman from Iowa, but I have been unable to find any in-depth reliable sources that cover Jeff King (apart from his job in his father's campaign) in depth.
