Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dean Willard (2nd nomination)
As I wrote in the first AfD, this person rates per  as a ''professional'' politician.  He's a county committeeman, chair of a committee, and has been a staffer for several state and local officers.  He's not just a one-time candidate.  The county he lives in quite large in population and area.  I think the ''Seattle Times'' ranks as a major newspaper - more than just a village weekly newsletter. He has gotten coverage from both the ''Seattle Times'' and more local papers, enough to satisfy me that he is notable. However, I can see that this is not a clear case, and reasonable people can disagree
