Deletion of Dean Willard (2nd nomination)

Comment: The community has set a standard with  that should only be departed from with good reason. One good reason might be if there is a clear case that the politician passes . This is not such a clear case

Comment: Per : "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 of the article."  Willard is an unelected candidate for political office.  Yes, this in itself does not guarantee notability.  Now read the although clause.  Per : "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.  The current article has 10 references, all them deal with Dean Willard in some various degrees of detail

Comment: As I wrote in the first AfD, this person rates per  as a ''professional'' politician.  He's a county committeeman, chair of a committee, and has been a staffer for several state and local officers.  He's not just a one-time candidate.  The county he lives in quite large in population and area.  I think the ''Seattle Times'' ranks as a major newspaper - more than just a village weekly newsletter. He has gotten coverage from both the ''Seattle Times'' and more local papers, enough to satisfy me that he is notable. However, I can see that this is not a clear case, and reasonable people can disagree

Comment: per footnote 7 to , "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, '''in depth''', independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists."  None of the cited references are "in depth," they are passing mentions that he is running, usually just a paragraph or two.  He does not meet the standard as explained by the standard or the footnote
