George Lovenguth

George Lovenguth (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

The only shred of notability I can source is that he is running for the Florida State Senate in 2010.

Delete Not notable in any way. Candidates for state legislature offices usually do not merit their own articles, and if they do, it is not on that basis alone. If Lovenguth is elected to the Florida Senate, then a better-written, better-organized biographical article may be created -- but not before then.

Delete Is he running for that or for US Senate (Martinez's retiring seat)? This is clearly non-notable, there is no news about him at all (a google news search) BrianY (talk) 03:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment From what I've found online, Lovenguth is actually a failed state Senate candidate from last year. The article's creator (whom I suspect is Lovenguth himself) has now added to the article a sentence claiming that he is "the democrat candidate for the Florida 2010 United States Senate." First of all, he is not the Democratic candidate, as the primary isn't for over a year. And second of all, I can find absolutely no press coverage of Lovenguth entering the race. Perhaps he intends to run, and that's nice, but in no way does it make him notable enough for his own article. In the event that he is nominated by the Democrats in 2010, then an article could be created. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 15:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

• Delete per all above. Even if he is running for the U.S. Senate, he will be facing a multiple-candidate primary just to make it into the general election, and he has not established independent news coverage yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree we should delete this page. It's not worthy of Wikipedia. No mention online other than a blog but that may be his friend's blog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.232.152.183 (talk) 02:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
