Speedy

Candidate finished dead last in 6-way primary for Governor of Illinois in GOP primary. No notablity or anything from this person since then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.34.246.73 (talk) 20:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's an issue for WP:AFD, not for speedy. The article asserts that the person is significant; deciding whether he is or is not cannot be done through a speedy. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 22:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Success! --1990'sguy (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"edited by self or someone associated with" tag

The history section shows a lot of different users. I've never met the guy, just a fan of his radio show. That's my two cents. I think the tag should be taken down. --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 19:57, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. Safehaven86 (talk) 20:10, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (March 2016)" tag

As of today, there are 16 citations. I've seen articles with 1 or 2 and not have that tag. I think 16 is a high enough number to remove the tag. --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 19:59, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the removal of this tag. Thanks. Safehaven86 (talk) 20:10, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

template message seems outdated

I read the template message and then I carefully read the entire article. I don't see any content that looks like an advertisement, and the article seems pretty cut and dry, not "written from a fan's point of view." The article seems pretty neutral, containing both positive and negative sentences about the subject. So I don't see how the third point in the template message ("contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information") applies either. I might remove the message unless there's significant opposition w/ examples of how the complaints in the message applies to this article.

The template message reads the following as of right now:

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
- This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (April 2017)
- This article may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. (April 2017)
- This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (April 2017)

Thanks. --Michael Powerhouse (talk) 16:43, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I read this article. And I read those flags at the top of the page. They aren't relevant at all. This article does not contain content that is written like an advertisement. This article is not written from a fan's point of view; it reads as a neutral article. Finally, this article does not contain wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. Not sure why these tags were put up there but they're all false.
