| *'''Delete''' - I spent way too much time looking over this article myself.

That shouldn't be more than a sentence or two at most. --] (]) 09:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC) | *'''Delete''' - I spent way too much time looking over this article myself.

Buck Humphrey
- Buck Humphrey (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Contested prod. Person does not seem to meet the criteria of WP:POLITICIAN, and notability is not inherited from his grandfather. Unsuccessful candidacy for a state office and work in state campaigns for presidential candidates aren't sufficient to establish notability. Relevant Google News hits seem to deal with his unsuccessful run for office or with decisions not to run for other offices. Current position seems to be as a communications officer for a federal agency. Deor (talk) 14:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
- Delete Non notable subject. Nom's arguments appear to be correct. Subject has done nothing of particular note and relation to another more famous individual does not merit the subject's inclusion here. We do not need a list of government employees on Wiki! Wah!

*Keep The references and links within the article are enough to meet the minimum requirement of significant coverage in independent and reliable sources. He worked as the election director for Minnesota for both Gore and Mrs. Clinton, and also made his own (failed) attempt to be elected Secretary of State, and references are shown for all of these facts. But what put it over the top for me was this 2007 reliable and independent source that addressed the subject of Buck Humphrey directly and in detail. That meets WP:GNG and thats a keep.

- A blog. A city newspaper. Another blog. And the website of his employer, which is about as independent and third party as the republicans are moral. Ironholds (talk) 04:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

- Keep Plenty of news mention of him. For his failed run for political office, for helping others in their campaigns, and for his DWI arrest. Dream Focus 19:51, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
