Deletion of Jason Plummer (politician)

Comment: to Illinois gubernatorial election, 2010 or Bill Brady (Illinois politician).  I am the one that tagged this article for notability.  This article is about the running mate for the losing Republican gubernatorial candidate in Illinois; they had business ties to each other and the race was always about Brady, not about Plummer.  #TEMP|Notability is not temporary and, with that in mind, I don't see Plummer getting beyond  in the long term unless he gets elected or appointed to high office

Comment: I get your point, Bearian, but our notability guideline for |politicians has no exception for losing candidates who raise lots of money, even if they get 49.9% of the vote.  By the way, I'm a Democrat too, but try really hard for |evenhandedness when dealing with these matters.  The issue, then, is whether Plummer meets the threshold of notability under his other accomplishments.  It seems very unlikely to me given the descriptions of his successful but non-notable career in the article.  Sharron Angle is in no way comparable, since she was a long-time state legislator in Nevada who was clearly a notable politician years before she ran for the U.S. Senate.  Harry Wilson, as a highly placed Wall Street executive and member of Obama's auto industry task force, has a good claim to notability independent of his losing campaign.  That's my opinion, at least. —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: because he does not meet our notability guideline for |politicians,  and his other accomplishments are non-notable
