Does not appear to be notable outside of his political campaign, which means he fails

Strong Delete - Another republican utterly destroyed. Still, he passes
WP:POLITICIAN criteria. I will say again, if his campaign was a just a protest or whatever, it was clearly a notable one. I don't really know. But obviously this guy was the Republican choice to crash and burn. A little research will show that 15% is about the expected number when one "sacreficial lamb" is placed up against a giant of the opposite party. This holds true for both parties in entrenched areas. Obviously he's not a paper candidate, therefore he's a legit candidate. The article should stand. If the editor who proposed this deletion would care to propose deletions for some Democrats who fell similarly to Republicans in entrenched areas, I will be happy to support that they be kept as well. --Sue Rangell✍ ✉ 00:49, 16 November 2012 (UTC)reply
My apologies, I misread the article, and jumped to an unfair conclusion. I thought this man had won his primary election. To anyone reading this, he did not. After a little deeper digging this became clear. The article itself is written to imply that he won his primary election, which is not at all true. This is what I get for denying myself life-giving coffee. :) Thanx.--Sue Rangell✍ ✉ 00:56, 16 November 2012 (UTC)reply
Weak delete - I would say that the sources provided in the article are mostly trivial mentions, however since they did come from several reputable newspapers, I thought I'd include the "weak". He didn't win the nomination, so I'm not finding any reason to keep.
