Political figure with no particularly strong claim of notability that would pass WP:POLITICIAN — the only real claim of notability here is his candidacies, never successful, for the municipal council in a suburban town whose incumbent municipal politicians wouldn't even necessarily be notable enough to be on here. The article further fails to demonstrate that he actually warrants permanent coverage in an encyclopedia with an international audience — all it does is state that he ran for city council a bunch of times, without providing the first hint of a reason why anybody should care that he ran for city council a bunch of times. Wikipedia does not confer an automatic presumption of notability on politicians at the municipal level of government, nor on unsuccessful candidates for election to any level of government, if a solid and substantive claim of notability supported by a solid range of sources isn't present.

• Delete seems to be of purely local interest. It would be nice to know what the book Wings of Power took two pages to say about him. He must be about 89 by now. -- Bejnar ( talk) 00:46, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply
