- Delete No evidence for notability aside from his unsuccessful political candidacies. Meatsgains ( talk) 03:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Unelected candidates for office, as always, are not entitled to Wikipedia articles on that basis if their candidacy is itself the only substantive claim of notability that can be made — WP:NPOL grants notability to officeholders, while a candidate gets an article only if you can properly demonstrate that they were already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before running as a candidate. But this doesn't fulfill that condition. Delete. Bearcat ( talk) 03:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
