Delete. Biography, sourced only to The Political Graveyard with no evidence of notability-conferring media coverage shown, of a person notable only as a non-winning third party candidate for political office. As always, being a candidate for office is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, but nothing here sources (or even really claims) any notability for anything else.

Delete If Coates had been a major party candidate the article might have a chance to work. If people could dig up sources that seek to be other than comprehensive databases there might be a chance. However the Political Graveyard is intended to include every candidate who ever ran, which is not our goal here at Wikipedia. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 00:14, 14 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete I agree with the three comments above. It definitely fails WP:POLITICIAN since Mr. Coates was only a candidate for office. Dolotta ( talk) 01:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC) reply
