WP:BLP of a writer whose notability appears exclusively local, relying almost entirely on primary sources with precious little reliable source coverage to actually get him over WP:WRITER. No prejudice against recreation in the future if his basic notability and/or the availability of real sourcing actually improves, but this version (which has been tagged for notability since 2010 with no discernible improvement) needs to be deleted.

• Delete Non-notable and unsuccessful candidate for local office who also lacks notability from his musical/writing career. Half the sources are broken and the rest are, as Bearcat noted, primary sources. The only others I can find are self-published. He thus fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:WRITER, WP:PERFORMER and the WP:GNG.

• Delete Getting a few hundred votes in an election is not enough to make him a notable politician and there's a lot of sources to meet the GNG. 131.118.229.17 ( talk) 01:09, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply
