| *'''Delete''' - I spent way too much time looking over this article myself. I would have to say that this particular individual is just at the cusp of what might be considered notable, independent of his namesakes that were also politicians. I think in this case perhaps the article is premature. He may end up somebody of some stature and notability, but isn't there yet. If/when he achieves some notable elected position or appointment to office, it would be useful to keep the article but not until then.

The issue is that by itself that isn't something of note other than as a footnote in articles about his father and grand father. The ] article perhaps could be expanded slightly or re-organized to have a section about his children, and including a reference to Buck Humphrey's political ambitions. 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!
