Delete not notable enough to be a wikipedia article. Kalivd (talk) 14:12, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, candidates are not inherently notable, and we don't have the sources to show Carter's notability. Recreate if he wins. Huon (talk) 14:41, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina, 2008 District 5 per WP:BLP1E. No evidence of WP:RS coverage other than running for office. • Gene93k (talk) 18:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep So why now? If the article had recently been created, I would ask the same question of the author. I note that the nominator has been a contributor to the article about Carter's opponent in the election, incumbent Virginia Foxx [1], albeit a small item about a different challenger who said that "he didn't have the stomach" to continue a run against her. If there is a delete, then redirect to the article Virginia Foxx, with an NPOV article about the campaign, if such a thing is possible. And if not a delete, then it should be renominated on November 5, along with other candidate articles. Mandsford (talk) 13:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete candidates are non inherently notable and no other notability is offered. Nuttah (talk) 10:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
