Delete has not gotten significant coverage as a perennial candidate and otherwise fails NPOL. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:06, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being a perennially non-winning perennial candidate for political office at the local level is not in and of itself an article-clinching notability claim — and the article is not referenced to the depth, range or volume of reliable source coverage it would take to make him a special case of greater notability than most other non-winning mayoral candidates. Two of the references are primary sources (his own campaign website and a profile on Ballotpedia) that are not support for notability at all, one source just provides a blurb's worth of information about him in a listicle about all of this year's mayoral candidates (thus not constituting evidence that Broussard's candidacy is more special than Michael O'Callaghan's or Piper Crowell's or Randy Rapaport's), while the other is just covering him in the context of a criminal allegation without demonstrating that he would pass WP:PERP for that. So no, nothing here is a legitimate reason for us to maintain an article about him. Bearcat (talk) 14:03, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm reasonably familiar with his career, and I'm confident that he has not generated sufficient independent coverage to meet the requirements of WP:GNG. WP:POLITICIAN clearly does not apply either. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:38, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
