This page is cleary sided in favor of Zeese, calling his campaign "unique in Maryland history" etc. -- tomf688{ talk} 20:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Added this page to the 2006 Maryland elections category. robbblack 15:59, 25, January 2006
Someone has suggested deleting this page. The page is accurate. The subject, Kevin Zeese, is running for United States Senate. Many people will see his name on bumper stickers or lawn signs, or a reference to him in a news account, and want to learn more, and will naturally come to Wikipedia. Zeese is not someone who simply announced a political candidacy as an act of vanity. Zeese is a public figure and a person of public interest. He is a lawyer who has litigated important cases. He is a public intellectual whose commentary is regularly published in a wide variety of media.
The suggestion that his wikipedia page be deleted smells of an effort to limit the ability of the interested public in learning more about a figure who is articulately and effectively challengig the political establishment.—Preceding unsigned comment added by EricSterling ( talk • contribs)
I see the article is back from the dead... I still have the concerns ( WP:AUTO, WP:OR, and WP:POV for your reference) from the AfD, specifically, that the IPs of the subject, his son, and some coworkers were revealed. The history shows:
— RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 16:41, 19 July 2006 (UTC) (Who, coincidentally, is a Libertarian from Maryland who was accused of being part of a left wing conspiracy in the AfD)
Why was the AfD decision overturned? What is DRV? Surely with ongoing POV concerns the redirect should be re-enabled? BlueValour 16:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I made a point in both the initial AfD and the subsequent review that I don't believe have been responded to and that goes to the heart of the matter. (To be more exact, it was responded to, but with what turned out to be a mistaken argument.) Perhaps those who believe a redirect is appropriate could comment on it? John Broughton 19:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I trimmed down the political career section to an acceptable level. The middle part needs trimming too and the intro line should probably be about his career in drugs. If we can't get this to stick because of POV pushing a second AfD might be in order. Also, three of the links were dead. ~ trialsanderrors 11:08, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I can't find any sources for Zeese's involvement in the Tulia story. The story itself has been extensively covered, but looking at major and regional news sources, I found only one mention of Zeese in passing, bottom of the article. Some of the drug war protesters met with representatives for Bush before the conference, said Kevin Zeese, president of Common Sense for Drug Policy. Zeese said he hopes it will initiate a prompt dialogue with Bush, especially as the presidential election nears. Austin American-Statesman (Texas)September 30, 2000. I don't know how that qualifies as "bringing national attention to". Was he a lawyer for the defense? ~ trialsanderrors 18:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
It is essential that this remains at the top of the page since this is where editors would check for it if, for example, they decide to renominate this article. This is consistent with all other AfD results. BlueValour 17:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we should put some stuff about his personal life up here? I think it is important, being that he left his first wife (and kids) for another woman, who he subsequently left for a third woman a few years later. Do you all think that's relevant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squiems ( talk • contribs) 13:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The article should make some mention of his work in protecting the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC.

I was closely connected with Kevin Zeese, so I'll refrain from editing his page, but he passed away from heart attack. Will post news sources here, once they're published.
