Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wink Hartman
We had a line break above by a relisting concerning WP:Routine that was argued against being used on this subject but a "keep" !vote did make the application. The "standalone notability of people involved in events", especially when sources are used on specific events to advance the notability of a subject, would certainly invoke the use when assessing a source. This type of discussion is more relevant in another area, however, I concur so unless further contested WP:ROUTINE can and has been used. When I looked at the article I see what I refer to as ''routine coverage'' of an event of a politician running for office. A person thinks about running for office (may run again) so it is reported, a person decides to run then withdraws, and so forth is routine coverage of a politician running for one or more offices (didn't continue for governor so now the Senate). It appears the subject is wealthy, maybe bored, or maybe just has enough money to have several businesses and to take the time to champion personal causes. Possibly the subject would like an article on Wikipedia. The pening up a can of worms|can of worms| is the "wide-reaching consequences" that any person running for any office could be "considered" notable for an article if we don't consider a basic test: otability (people)|''"For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice"or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life."''. If I counted correctly four sources are from "Kansas.com" (Wichita Eagle), two from "Kansascity.com" (The Kansas City Star), so are from two sources for any notability consideration. Some of the sources are plain routine news coverage good for content verification, he went to college, bought a racing team, ran for governor, possibly the Senate, picked as a running mate they apparently lost. I don't think the local or regional reporting rises to match the bar of notability for a stand alone article
