The result was delete. WP:SNOW. I've closed this earlier than usual, but given the crystal-clear consensus it's clear where this is heading, and the BLP concerns voiced by participants outweigh procedure-for-the-sake-of-procedure. j⚛e decker ^talk 15:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This BLP article seems to have been created primarily as an excuse to list a lot of controversies about the article's subject. An ongoing edit war is in progress between the article's creator and the article's subject.

Jon Ausman also doesn't appear to be notable, just some mentions in local newspapers and TV. Rotten regard 01:24, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: He's held no significant office. He's gotten involved in some local level political squabbles, few folks like this are notable, which is why they don't have articles on wikipedia. Plus someone seems to want to make this a hit piece, and I have no tolerance for bullshit like that.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 03:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Ausman, the longest serving member of the Democratic National Committee in Florida history and the longest serving county chair in Leon County history, has played a notable role in both Florida and Leon County politics. In 2008 he wrote the appeal, and presented it on live CSPAN and CNN coverage, which resulting in the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee unanimously awarding Florida its delegates after the same committee had stripped Florida of delegates.

Jon Ausman was the only campaign manager who defeated a Florida incumbent Member of Congress during the 1990s. He helped write the delegate selection rules for the Democratic National Conventions for the Florida Democratic Party in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000. In addition, he was the Florida delegate coordinator for the 2004 John Kerry campaign and the 2008 Dennis Kucinich campaign.

Mr. Ausman has guided nearly 85% of all the campaigns he has advised - local, regional, congressional and statewide - to successful results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ausman1953 (talk • contribs) 04:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a claim to notability for wikipedia, its a resume. How many other Leon County chairs have Wikipedia articles for that role? BTW, your username is "Ausman1953," so regardless of who you are, you can't be unbiased.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 05:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable local politician; there are hundreds of non-notable DNC and RNC members. We've got a bizarre hybrid between the vanity version favored by User:Ausman1953, and the attack version favored by some hater(s) out there. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Help_desk#Jon_Ausman Ausman1953 has identified himself as the subject of the article.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:52, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:USERFY as I assume User:Ausman1953 may be the same person as the bio.--MONGO 03:28, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SPEEDY Delete Not notable...and I am concerned about some of the attack-type stuff. Non of it is sourced. There seems to be an edit war between the creator of the page and it's subject. This is very disturbing. See WP:BLP --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 02:15, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — the subject fails WP:GNG as to substantial coverage by reliable sources. WP:POLITICIAN is so distant it's almost a straw man. Even if the subject were notable, and especially in that case, edit history would merit deletion for WP:BLP concerns alone. JFHJr (㊟) 05:46, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
