Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David J. Porter
Non-notable. Unelected candidate (thus failing ) who has not received the coverage necessary to meet . In fact he seems to be pretty much off the radar even in Texas. His "huge upset" in the primary garnered no press coverage that I could find except for a one-paragraph mention in the http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2010/sep/16/alex-mills-energy-policy-will-figure-large-in/ San Angelo Standard-Times. No doubt this is due to the not-very-notable office he is running for - a seat on a state regulatory agency. I see that the sitting commissioners do have Wikipedia articles, so if he wins an article can be written at that time, but it would be  to keep it now on the basis that he is likely to win 2 months from now. By the way (in response to the therstuffexists argument from Billy Hathorn),  I note that his Democratic opponent Jeff Weems does not have a Wikepedia page - so why do you think Porter should
