Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Faithless electors aren't inherently notable. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BIO1E apply. – Muboshgu (talk) 06:16, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep At a first glance doesn't seem too notable, but looking him up I found many sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Tribune academic journal discussing him [10] [11] A book [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] York Times [19] [20]. Honestly this guy has been covered so much, I didn't even include the ones on the article. I think he passes WP:GNG easily. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 11:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you don't mind - I removed "liquiseach" from your list above. That site is a simple mirror of Wikipedia and it undermines your position. Kuru (talk) 14:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Turner's actions had historical significance, and as AlessandroTiandelli333 showed, he was and still is widely covered by reliable sources.--Tdl1060 (talk) 02:24, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
