Talk:Felicito Ávila

Notability

As an election candidate in the Honduran general election, 2009 claiming Ávila is non notable without even bothering to post here is not worth consideration and has been removed. And while election candidates are not inherently notable, as the edit summary made clear, this is not merely an election but a presidential election. Or is that being Honduran makes him unnotable in the eyes of some? Thanks, SqueakBox talk 12:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

This is not just an election, nor even just a presidential election; it's a would-be presidential election involved in a major event in American history of the 2000-2009 decade - the third coup d'etat in America during the 2000's, and it's the only one of these three coups d'etat in which the USA government has given only ambiguous rather than outright support to the coup d'etat in the American country where the coup occurred (note: America != USA). If the election goes ahead as planned, then it will be closely watched as a major international political event. Boud (talk) 10:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The article doesn't say what he's a candidate for!!!! Mayor of a small town? Official Dogcatcher? What? I have nothing against the many fine people of Honduras, who have endured much; but candidates are not inherently notable. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:33, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Also - is he a mere candidate, or is he the nominee of his party? --Orange Mike | Talk 19:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
