Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Earl W. Smith
at this time. It would violate  to speculate whether there ''will be'' sources covering Mr. Smith in detail as the election approaches. What is clear is that, despite lots of people burning lots of electrons, we can't find reliable, independent sources doing so now. Indeed, I basically put out a challenge well over a week ago to verify some basic biographical facts that I couldn't find any independent verification for, and we seem unable to do so. Thus,  and  both suggest deletion, without prejudice against re-creation if the new article actually has, you know, real sourcing meeting notability criteria
