A non-notable candidate for public office. This amount of coverage is going to be found on most candidates for US house and we have decided we do not want articles on most unsuccessful candidates for US house John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. This figure does not seem to pass GNG, I can find some coverage about him, but a good deal of it is from blogs, old campaign materials, etc. A lot of the rest seems to be routine materials, like announcements that he is speaking at an event (this could be found for just about any political candidate in the modern age). WP:POLOUTCOMES suggests a redirect to the applicable election, but since he ran twice, WP:XY applies. So I'm suggesting a redirect to Virginia's 11th congressional district#Recent electoral history to catch both the '08 and '10 elections. Hog Farm (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting to Virginia's 11th congressional district#Recent electoral history seems sensible. Although searches in back issues of national media brought up a good deal more national coverage than gubernatorial elections usually attract, everything appears to be campaign related. Because there was so much coverage, if someone finds significant coverage of other aspects of his career, or wants to argue that something in one of the campaigns was sufficient to argue keep, I will be willing to look at what you find and reconsider.IceFishing (talk) 18:14, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
