Deletion of Jack Carter (politician)

Comment: Not notable because of familial ties (). Not notable because of unsuccessful Senatorial candidacy (). A basic  (hampered as it is by other people sharing the same name) turns up nothing I would characterize as substantial depth of coverage as mandated by  – instead, what I find is coverage of his run for Senate (i.e. the 2006 United States Senate election in Nevada), a bunch of passing mentions in articles about his father, and the above-mentioned coverage for being discharged from the Navy for smoking cannabis (the idea that this article, which was written 7 years after the fact when his father faced more scrutiny from the media and which goes into basically no depth at all, counts as substantial depth of coverage is absurd to me). I don't think the combined coverage from these sources adds up to substantial depth of coverage ''of the person'', so I don't find any indication that he passes . ''If'' we are to redirect this anywhere, I suggest 2006 United States Senate election in Nevada as the target

Comment: I think we're jumping to conclusions on his notability because of the hereditary element and the losing political campaign element, which aren't enough on their own, but there's plenty of -qualifying national coverage from the campaign, which wouldn't be enough on its own, but also other sources, including an endorsement he made for Barack Obama. As someone not quite as famous as his father, he's always going to be "the son," but he has been written about enough by secondary sources to be eligible for an article

Comment: Normally we would look to  for a guide. But the children of U.S. presidents are like American royalty. (See William and Harry) Children of presidents get national coverage for nearly everything they do. Many above have said  but this candidate - by virtue of his birthright, passes  with multiple reliable sources. It is hard to deny multiple articles in the New York Times and other national media

Comment: per . Winning an election does not make one notable, and losing an election does not make one non-notable

Comment: in addition to his senate run, he also received coverage for his discharge from the navy for smoking marijuana, as can be seen in this ''New York Times'' article from 1977: https://www.nytimes.com/1977/01/19/archives/carter-son-ousted-by-navy-in-1970.html This clearly assuages any BLP1E concerns and causes him to pass  effortlessly, and if I could find this with a 30 second search, than it is just  that there is far more out there
