Losing political candidates aren't normally considered sufficiently notable for articles here. However I'm a little reluctant to submit this for an AfD because "Medical Director of Clayton State University Health Clinic" sounds like a position that could be notable. Currently the article devotes only a single sentence to her actual notable position, and ten to her failed and failing candidacies. That seems far out of balance to me, per the "undue weight" section of WP:NPOV. Is there any chance of refocusing this article? — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the above because while a losing political candidate, being the director of a university health clinic meets the notoriety guidelines. The fact that she is a political candidate should not disqualify Mrs. Honeycutt from being included in Wikipedia. Whistlesgowhoo ( talk) 21:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Per Wikipedia guidelines, the mere fact that someone ran unsuccesfully for office is not sufficient to qualify as "notable". Any other mitigating factors or should this article be nominated for deletion? FinFangFoom ( talk) 14:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
The idea that we need a citation to say that a candidate who lost last time for 38 points in a solidly Democratic district is expected to lose this time seems silly. If someone wants to add it, though, the Cook Political Report ranks the seat as "Solid D", which ought to be a source. john k ( talk) 01:09, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I removed the unsourced statement about the AJC applauding her position on issues. My own research shows that they actually endorsed her opponent, David Scott, in that race. Were I feeling less charitable, I'd insert a comment about Scott's endorsement, rather than just deleting the previous statement. Given this and the recent spate of edits by anonymous Honeycutt cheerleaders, I suggest we be quick to revert any statement that's not explicitly supported by unbiased external sources. justinfr ( talk) 21:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
There have been a recent series of edits by Ahoneyc151 ( talk). Call me paranoid, but it's reasonable this editor may have a connection to the article's subject, especially considering the favourable wording of most of the contributions (e.g., calling her a "historic political star"). I feel I should outright revert all the recent edits, but thought I'd open up discussion instead. justinfr ( talk) 02:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
