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)

- 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 third time? ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:46, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
