Notability

@Onel5969

I believe that this page passes notability due to him being the chairman of the state republican party. If I read the notability guidelines that would constitute him holding a statewide office and pass a notability check. Additionally he has two reliable sources talk about him, the New York Times and the Washington Post. I know that is the bare minimum for a notability check but he still passes it. Is there anything that I am missing? Scu ba (talk) 16:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's not a statewide political office, but a statewide organization position. Those two articles, while they mention him, are about the race for governor, and typically unsuccessful candidates do not meet WP:NPOL, and there is expected to be a certain amount of coverage about them during the election. Can you find any in-depth coverage in the newspapers from Kansas or surrounding states? Onel5969 TT me 16:10, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Miller, and other Kansas republican and democratic chairs pass the WP:NPOL criteria due to them holding an elected state/province–wide office. Unlike other states, the offices of party chair are open elections in which all registered members of a party are eligible to vote. Regardless I'll see if there is any other content in the media about them. Scu ba (talk) 19:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
