Robert J. Johnson[edit]

Non-notable and possibly autobiography. Not every officeholder is notable, let alone ever losing candidate. Being the Democratic sacrificial lamb in a Republican stronghold is less of a claim to notability. The article reads like an extract from a campaign bio.

Sacrificial lambs in a Congressional election are generally not WP:BIO notable, but his being placed on a no-fly list is. Since the pertinent information is already there, redirect to No-fly list. B.Wind 01:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
redirect (or keep. This is the high Adirondacks, and he did better in the district than anyone's done for a while; see the district's article. But redirect will save the history if he ever manages to get anywhere.) Septentrionalis 04:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. To be a major-party candidate for Congress is notable, even if the candidate loses and was given little chance of winning. JamesMLane t c 09:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
