Shannon Royer[edit]

Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN as he has not been elected and is not a subject of significant coverage. Boffob (talk) 05:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets the usual notability standard as the subject of substantial coverage. Wily D 14:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is three hits of regular election coverage for a defeated candidate significant? Any candidate from a major party is bound to get some at the local level.--Boffob (talk) 14:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Although as of this writing the results aren't official yet, looks like he lost the most recent election, too.[1]--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I believe he needs a wiki because he is very popular in West Chester, PA which merits a wiki in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Rockyobody (talk • contribs)

Delete – does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. Being covered in one's local newspaper as a candidate in a local election is par for the course, and not an indication of notability. ... discospinster _talk 00:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete – Reviewing the guidelines for inclusion under both Politicians and/or the general Notability guidance have to say Mr. Royer just does not make it at this time. As it states; “…Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". In reviewing Mr. Royer coverage, I do not see significant – independent coverage of the individual himself. Rather quotes concerning various subjects –topics or other matters.
