No claim to notability besides third-party political candidacy, should have been speedied but tag was removed. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 09:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Subject does not appear to meet WP:POLITICIAN, and sources to support that WP:ANYBIO or simply WP:BASIC is met have not been found. Sam Sailor ^Talk! 12:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• delete political candidate that doesn't meet WP:BIO . LibStar ( talk) 12:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete as I myself patrolled this at NPP, not at all convincing for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 17:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete, super-duper easy one this time, no question of notability. Frickeg ( talk) 01:05, 18 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• WP:BLP, written even more blatantly than usual as a campaign brochure rather than an encyclopedia article, of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office — which is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia by itself: if you cannot demonstrate and source that he was already notable enough for an article before running as a candidate, then he has to win the election to get an article. Delete, without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. Bearcat ( talk) 15:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete for lack of notability. Being a candidate in a federal election is a claim of significance that is enough to survive WP:A7. Is we remove the last two paragraphs of policy statement we are left with a seven-sentence resume. Overall it is not promotional enough to fall under WP:G11, but still fails the basic notability criteria. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 00:12, 19 May 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete per nom, and I'd add that a Green standing for a Liberal-held House of Reps seat is highly unlikely to be elected so he's not likely to become notable as a result of the election. Nick-D ( talk) 01:36, 23 May 2016 (UTC) reply
