Talk:Tim Sheehy (businessman)

Recreation

Not sure if the circumstances have changed since the last AfD, since Sheehy has attracted significantly more media coverage (though not cited here).

I'm still in the Delete camp, at least until after the election. Intothatdarkness 15:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I still believe this should remain a redirect. - Enos733 (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to a redirect. But I still don't think he needs his own article. Intothatdarkness 17:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

• Firm delete so far. Radiohist (talk) 16:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
• The outcome of the AFD was to redirect Tim Sheehy (American politician). This new article was created as a redirect to the same target [1], on the grounds that he's "not a politician yet", and another editor came along a week later and recreated the article from the redirect. A Google search for him, minus the word "Senate", turns up no significant coverate in reliable sources as a businessman or a soldier. The US is about three weeks away from a national election, and all of the major candidates are getting heavy press coverage. This was roughly the rationale, per WP:NPOL, for redirect by strong consensus in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Sheehy (American politician). So this article should be deleted, as it's really a renamed repost of Tim Sheehy (American politician). If he wins, then that article should obviously be un-redirected and expanded.

• I don't get why this article's been re-created; I can't find any particularly significant new coverage of Sheehy since the last AFD that has passed into SIGCOV territory. Since the old article has now been turned into a redirect, what's the next course of action; AFD for the second time? ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 11:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Tim Sheehy is a politician and major party candidate for US Senate and, if the polls are correct, has a huge chance of becoming the next Senator from Montana. I don't understand why we are discussing deleting the article instead of expanding it. All senators and candidates from major parties have their own Wikipedia pages! 2804:D41:F815:AE00:818C:A71C:6F1A:C3B9 (talk) 15:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Tim Sheehy is a major party candidate for the U.S. Senate and, based on current polls, has a strong chance of becoming Montana’s next Senator. I don't see why we're talking about deleting this article instead of improving it. Catgiraffe (talk) 21:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

I agree fully. The article must be kept.. Melledelle (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
