CSD A7'd yesterday. Recreated today with slightly more information to satisfy the requirements laid out in A7 that prevent that criterion from applying, although imo still a non-notable person under Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Simply being an elector does not confer notability of any kind, nor does leading any university group. Delete. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 13:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are 535 electors for each major party (and probably an equal number for many smaller parties) in each US presidential election, and virtually all of them get virtually no coverage. An elector can be notable, but aside from those who are notable for completely different reasons (e.g. one party chooses a popular celebrity to be an elector), the only way you can be notable is if you get significant coverage for your vote — which this guy never cast, since Texas voters chose the Republican-nominated electors, and he was nominated by the Democrats. Barbara Lett-Simmons gets an article because of the truly distinctive nature of her vote; there's no way that this guy could be notable simply for being on the losing side of a vote or for anything else that he's done.

Strong delete Absolutely zero notability. Failed nominee for Presidential elector. Leader of a college group. Safiel (talk) 02:51, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I created this page for as a project for class, I now understand that I should have added this as my user page info, and not a full Wikipedia page. Elector85 01:58, 18 August 2011 (CST)
