Was considering tagging it for Speedy Deletion but then I figured bringing it here would be better. I fail to see how mr. Horn is meeting the notability criteria. His list of medals is impressive but unsourced and his current work doesn't make him notable. Also, I can't find much about him apart from blurbs on promotional/personal websites.

Delete. Holding political office at the county board level does not constitute an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself — on rare occasions, an officeholder at that level of government might have enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG, but most don't. The lowest level of political office that guarantees an article to every officeholder is the state legislature. And this article is referenced entirely to primary sources (his own website and the board's own website) that cannot support notability at all, along with being written far more like a campaign brochure than like an actual encyclopedia article. Neither the sourcing nor the substance on offer here are enough to deem him notable. Bearcat (talk) 14:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:POLITICIAN. Seems to get a fair bit of local press coverage eg. [1][2] I found a better biography. I am open to arguments that this amounts to enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
