The subject is a candidate for a future election, but not a very notable one--without running for office he wouldn't qualify, and that run is a ways away. Drmies ( talk) 07:37, 1 January 2010 (UTC) reply
There is older coverage (circa 1991) of him and his family in the context of the persecution of Baha'is in Iran at this article and other articles that can be found at this search. I do not regard this coverage as a proof of his notability, but perhaps it establishes notability for his mother and father. (I agree that in this case notability is not inherited.) It is not clear whether he is a Baha'i, so I have not mentioned that it the article. There are a few hits for him at Google Scholar, but probably not enough to pass WP:PROF.
His proposal that the State of Florida establish its own bank may attract broader public interest, even if he fails to be elected. But my overall feeling is that his work as an author makes him notable. - Eastmain ( talk) 21:51, 2 January 2010 (UTC) reply
