Issues with article[edit]

There are a number of issues as detailed in the maintenance tags at the top of the article. The article has been nominated for deletion as the subject does not meet WP:NOTE as a business man, and simply being a candidate is not enough to meet WP:POLITIICIAN. Please do not reinstate contested material or unreliable sources, as per biographies of a living person. Flat Out let's discuss it 05:06, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
