Fails WP:NPOL. County clerk who ran for Lt. Governor (lost in primary) and unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2004. Probably should be redirected to 2004 United States House of Representatives elections in Kentucky#District 3. GPL93 (talk) 19:06, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Neither "county circuit court clerk" nor "unsuccessful candidate for higher office" passes WP:NPOL as a valid reason for a person to get a Wikipedia article — in rare instances, those might be able to get a person in the door if they can be referenced to a depth and range and volume of reliable source coverage that establishes a compelling reason to treat the person as significantly more notable than the norm for those levels of significance, but they're not instant free passes to encyclopedic notability just because they've been asserted. And with only one reference, which is deadlinked but has a headline which plainly reveals that it isn't even substantially about Miller at all, the "sourced well enough to be special" test has clearly not been passed.
