Unclear notability, seemingly a
WP:1E person via his 3 month GOP position. The article has since become a
WP:COATRACK for his bizarre and outrageous statements and/or political positions.

- Keep, mostly per the excellent arguments to keep made in the unsuccesful May, 2014 attempt to delete this biography. This person's notability does not derive only from his brief GOP position, but from his expertise in voting law which has been widely accepted by Southern U.S. courts, and by his widely-reported propensity for making outrageous public statements, such as his recent calls for summary execution of all Ebola patients. This man is notable, and NPOV coverage of his ideas is no coatrack - it is an essential part of the biography of a political figure. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Last May I wrote on the Talk page of this article: "This article was nominated for deletion in May 2014. The consensus was to keep the article. If you would like to delete this article, please review why editors decided to keep it in 2014 before nominating it again." I just went back and re-read the May 2004 reasons for keeping this article and they still seem compelling to me. For that reason, and because I think we should respect the wishes of editors who came before us, I vote to keep. Chisme ( talk) 17:37, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - He's at least as notable as Alvin Greene, for similar reasons: yes, local politics, but national facepalming. Kincannon has repeatedly made statements that have drawn national ire. Once or twice would be an issue, but this guy pretty much has a career in saying horrible things. Ian.thomson ( talk) 19:14, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per the arguments made at the last AfD. James500 ( talk) 20:29, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
