Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Poe
The intention of  is to prevent Wikipedia being used as an election advertising billboard, which is exactly what is happening here. Yes, reliable sources can be quoted, but they are ''about his running for Governor.'' If we allow the argument that the GNG, based on sources like that, can over-ride , then POLITICIAN is a dead letter - ''every'' candidate for office can show press cuttings based on his being a candidate. I believe the right interpretation of POLITICIAN is that references ''to do with the candidacy'' do not count, and notability ''apart from the candidacy'' must be shown in order to have an article
