Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Carlisle
I find it quite bizarre, as I suspect would most non-Americans, that a public prosecutor should be judged by the standards of , but, as it is an elected position, I suppose it applies. The guideline says that "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are considered notable. The "general rule" quoted by the nominator is for unelected candidates, not for those who have been elected. Apart from  the subject clearly passes the WP:general notability guideline|general notability guideline with http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_q=attorney&num=100&hl=en&btnG=Search+Archives&as_epq=peter+carlisle&as_oq=&as_eq=&ned=uk&as_user_ldate=&as_user_hdate=&lr=&as_src=&as_price=p0&as_scoring=a significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Could this nomination be connected to the fact that Carlisle has http://www.kitv.com/news/24344158/detail.html just announced his candidacy for mayor of Honolulu? We don't delete articles on already notable subjects just because they go on to do something that wouldn't in itself confer notability
