Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL as a former small-town mayor and federal judicial nominee. A possible redirect is Barack Obama judicial appointment controversies, where his WP:BLP1E is listed. Let'srun (talk) 00:54, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete & redirect as article creator, per nomination. Safiel (talk) 03:44, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. - Indefensible (talk) 04:46, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. It seems this individual was eventually appointed to a state bench [1]. But that source is not independent and there is virtually no coverage on this state appointment, so ultimately doesn't affect the outcome here. —siro χ o 07:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Is this really relevant for Barack Obama judicial appointment controversies? I mean, there was no controversy, the nomination just expired. Curbon7 (talk) 20:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Target article should probably be renamed to just "Barack Obama judicial nominees" or something like that. - Indefensible (talk) 21:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd probably include the word failed in there, but that is a discussion for the article talk page itself. Let'srun (talk) 00:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
