WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office. While there was once a time when unsuccessful candidates in leadership conventions were accepted as notable on the grounds that they added valuable context to the convention coverage, that's no longer accepted as a claim of notability in its own right if you can't get him over any other inclusion criterion besides that fact alone — but with just two sources here which are both about the convention, there's nothing else here that would earn him an article.

  • Delete as he's not solidly satisfying the applicable guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 03:52, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as article appears to be more of an advertisement that anything else. The dude is notable for losing elections, that I did notice. -- ♥Golf ( talk) 00:23, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply
