The article is about a non-notable
unsuccessful political candidate, the references given are either not reliable or irrelevant, and it pushes a POV in parts. I can't see much reason why this should be kept. –

Comment: What a terrible article? How did this stay for so long with so many BLP violations?

Delete per
WP:TNT; what a monstrosity. On actual notability he fails
WP:POLITICIAN, of course; there is perhaps a GNG argument here but this article sure isn't making it.

Delete. Yes, I was thinking TNT myself.

Delete. This is essentially formatted like a
résumé, contains inappropriate
offsite links in the body text instead of internal wikilinks, lists an awful lot of
YouTube videos in its contextless pile of unfootnoted "references", and doesn't make any especially strong claim of basic
notability beyond being an unsuccessful political candidate. No prejudice against recreation in the future if a version which makes a better notability claim can be written and sourced properly, but this as written ain't cutting the mayonnaise.

Comment -- He is certainly NN as an unelected politician. The only question may be whether he is notable as a minister of religion. My hunch is that he is not, but I do not know.

Delete I suspect that he is generally notable, even if he doesn't meet the politician qualification. Unfortunately, notability doesn't matter in this case, as the quality of the article is such that
WP:TNT applies. The closer should note that
WP:TNT includes no prejudice against recreation. – PhilosopherLet us reason together. 19:40, 10 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Delete, even without the awful political pamphlet content of the article, the guy is a political also-ran standing for a fringe party who got his five minutes of fame through some cringeworthy stunts that nobody paid all that much attention to. Doesn't meet
POLITICIAN, as outlined above.
