Weak keep - On the face of it, this is a potential
WP:BLP1E case. However, against that we have the fact that he has received coverage in reliable sources at the time, a BBC documentary was made about him, and at least one RS
[1] thought it was worth catching up with him for an update some five years later. Given the same level of coverage of an individual with a more 'conventional' medical condition, I might argue for a redirect or a merge to that condition, but this case is so unique that there just isn't a realistic target. So, yeah - overall I think there's just enough here to tip the article over the GNG line.

If this is the bar for notability, the vast majority of non-notable congressional candidates would have an article. This case is akin to the last person to catch a home run by [insert famous baseball player] making the rounds on talk shows. There's good reason this has for all intents and purposes been an orphan page for eight years.
