The previous AfD was closed as redirect because the consensus was the subject was not only notable per WP:BLP1E. Today, the redirect was reverted, and the user said that we need to "revisit the issue", without adding a single line to the previous version. Hence we go back here.

- Delete After some time has passed, I agree with Ymblanter; this person seems to fail the WP:BLP1E standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ventric ( talk • contribs) 23:05, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's not that he got coverage for running once for house; it's that he does it repeatedly, and is getting coverage again (especially in national conservative media). Take a look:

- On its own, this current run wouldn't pass notability, but I argue that his repeated runs (and repeated national coverage) does pass notability. Ethanbas ( talk) 01:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. The new "coverage" is simply in the context of a comment he made in a Twitter tweet, which is not a notability-conferring event at all — so it does not constitute compelling evidence that he's suddenly escaped WP:BLP1E. Bearcat ( talk) 16:51, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Delete- Fails politician notability and GNG as notable for only one event.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 00:42, 9 December 2017 (UTC)- Delete even those who win the primary are almost never ntoable, those who loose congressional primaries are even less notable. Running for congress more than once does not change someone into being notable. Multiple non-notable acts do not add to notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep There continue to be mainstream articles mentioning him, as noted above. Roger ( talk) 18:21, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Each time the globalists found themselves an enemy, they try to delete him from Wikipedia. It's starting to show. AlexisPERR ( talk) 18:58, 10 December 2017 (UTC)— AlexisPERR ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep Clearly established notability in articles over a long period in reliable sources. 121.75.204.130 ( talk) 20:05, 10 December 2017 (UTC) — 121.75.204.130 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Delete Does not seem notable for any reason, other than as a person who unsuccessfully runs for Congress from time to time. RobertGraves ( talk) 05:01, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Notability is not a matter of fame or importance. See WP:N lede. Unscintillating ( talk) 21:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per BLP1E, GNG, NPOLITICIAN. Keep responses do not make me believe additional information can be found to bring this article up to notability standards. South Nashua ( talk) 18:05, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Wrong venue Obviously this is a case of non-deletion notability, which as per WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT, any uninvolved editor can close this discussion and move it to the correct forum. Unscintillating ( talk) 21:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete -- non notable as either "businessman, inventor,[3][4] pro bono consultant, or author[5]". Promotional brochure instead of an article. K.e.coffman ( talk) 03:47, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Failed political candidate, BLP1E. Egsan Bacon ( talk) 07:17, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- Keep- I changed my mind on this, this guy gets a ton of media coverage, even now. Google news shows thousands of hits. He should clearly pass the bar of significant coverage for GNG. And he plans on running again: [1] I think the media wouldn't cover him as much if he were challenging anyone other than Paul Ryan.-- Rusf10 ( talk) 23:48, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
