This article on this person has already been removed at least once for being deemed non-notable. Has there been any particular achievement of recent note to cause this determination to be worthy of a re-vote? - Gych ( talk) 20:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes. It was agreed upon last time that the fact the he has sat in for Rush Limbaugh several times (which are refenced to the Rush Limbaugh site 3 times over) reaching a national audiience was enough to establish notability. Besides that, he is the host of a popular talk show in a market of over 3 million people. Other local talk show hosts such as Tom Barnard have articles here. Also, the refenced fact of being listed in Talker's magazine's list of the Heavy Hundred should prove notability. This article does not include several of the uncited facts that the previous one did. What is the argument for deleting this article? I agree the previous article had it's problems. - Brougham96 ( talk)
Also, judging by the deletion discussion page, the issue with the previous article was references, rather than notability. - Brougham96 ( talk) 03:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I suggest the afilliate list be deleted. It violates the spirit of not conducting business via Wikipedia, and affiliate lists are impossible to keep accurate, even for the syndicator. It's not useful information. 69.37.38.104 ( talk) 17:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Most of the following has been deleted:
the "white population" has been "committing political suicide" and "committing cultural suicide" by not reproducing at higher levels. Last year [2015], Lewis said "the median income for blacks in America would make them rich in most African nations, not most - all." [4]

... which doesn't say what those opinions and comment about women and slavery are!
Lewis's past comments are central to the campaign. see Google videos search: "interview with candidate jason lewis television" here, including this interview. His past comment have been talked about by the Atlantic (COTTLE, MICHELLE (12 August 2016). "Meet Minnesota's Mini-Trump". The Atlantic. Retrieved 22 August 2016.) and the local metro newspaper (Brodkorb, Michael (22 February 2016). "Republican official says Jason Lewis' comments 'demonstrate ignorance'". Star Tribune. Retrieved 22 August 2016.).
I understand the quotes are controversial and coming from unsympathetic sources, but allowing them in the article is not an "attack" on Lewis. It is stating what he said in a NPOV manner. I'm sure many viewers (well some anyway) will agree with Lewis. -- BoogaLouie ( talk) 18:13, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

While appearing as a radio host over a number of years, Lewis made many inflammatory statements. After CNN reviewed years of audio in 2018, his disparaging of what he believed to be core issues of concern for women voters which were otherwise insignificant to him, has come to the fore and received widespread coverage. Included in those remarks were his expression of regrets that he would be perceived negatively if he continued to refer to women as "sluts." That term, included by a number of editors drawing from reliable sources, has been repeatedly removed from the "political positions" section in the absence of Talk page discussion about such removals. Wikipedia is not censored, and avoiding this issue and the coverage it has generated does a disservice to the encyclopedia, in my opinion. I submit that it should stay in that section. The deleted subhead in that section was unwieldy at best and should not be restored. I had noticed the coverage because I receive and regularly read the Star-Tribune's headlines because of my interest in a state policy issue, rather than electoral issues. I'll restore the redacted language to the section in question and provide appropriate reliable sourcing. Activist ( talk) 06:31, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
The following could be of interest to individuals attempting to ascertain his political record prior to the election. It should be added under the "political positions" headline:
Labor
Lewis has voted against anti-labor, union-opposed, amendments attempting to undo prevailing wage requirements established under the Davis-Bacon Act. Additionally, he has been an outspoken supporter of mineral exploration activities and lease renewals in the state of Minnesota if they are pursued through existing environmental review processes1 and urged the Minnesota Public Utility Commission and federal government to approve of the Enbridge Line 3 project.2 These actions earned him the endorsement of several Labor Unions. "Jason Lewis has made an effort to get to know our Union, understand our issues, and has taken politically tough stances in support of good paying Union jobs," George said in a statement. "We don't always agree on every issue, but we know that when it comes to supporting our jobs, he has stood with us, and that is why we are standing with him." 3
