Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David A. Pepper (2nd nomination)
We keep articles about legislators because they actually ''pass laws''. State political party chairs ''can'' get articles ''if'' they can be properly referenced to enough |reliable source coverage to clear , but are ''not'' handed an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist — but the amount of coverage being shown here is ''not'' enough to get him over GNG, because two of the four sources are routine coverage of his campaigns for races he didn't win, a third is routine coverage of his campaign for a county-level office that he did win but doesn't constitute an automatic NPOL pass in and of itself, and the fourth is covering him only in the context of writing a book that isn't notable enough to get him over . This would be keepable if somebody could show some evidence of a GNG-passing volume of coverage for his work ''in'' the role of party chair ''itself'' — but merely being able to show that a few sources exist about otherwise ''non-notable'' aspects of his prior activity, while showing ''no'' sourcing that's actually covering him in the context of the notability claim itself, is not how you make a party chair notable enough. No prejudice against recreation if somebody can do better than this
