Kim Wolfe[edit]

The subject of the article is a failed congressional candiadte in the 2006 elections. His only other claim to notability is being the sherrif of Cabell County, West Virginia. By all accounts he is a good sherrif, but neither being a sherrif in an American county the size of Cabell County nor being a failed party nom to the US House of Representives causes a given subject to meet WP:BIO. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cabell County is Huntington, West Virginia, one of the larger cities in the state. Notable as sheriff regardless of loss in Cong. race. NawlinWiki 15:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'd say the bar on a sheriff should be set much higher than a county that has a largest city that is just below 50,000. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 15:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - failed political candidate. Being sheriff isn't notable. -- Whpq 18:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He was elected Cabell County sheriff in 2000, and was re-elected in 2004, per this Associated Press profile. The population of Cabell County, West Virginia is 288,000. John Broughton | Talk 01:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Sheriff of a small county isn't enough for notability. Probably no sheriff is inherently notable. -- Bpmullins | Talk 20:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- he's not only sheriff of the county, but President of the West Virginia Sheriffs' Association. -- Sholom 14:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. Notable and certainly verifiable. Note that the high-traffic election site www.electoral-vote.com started linking to our articles on both incumbents AND challengers for congressional seats this year; it's a sign that coverage of congressional challengers here is already EXPECTED by the world outside AfD.
