The article's subject was a candidate in the forthcoming Queensland election, but has subsequently been disendorsed prior to the election. Thus he isn't a candidate, and has held no political positions, so accordingly to WP:POLITICIAN we can't assume notability. In regard to the sources, none currently provide the sort of coverage we need, and most are there to provide background and don't mention Caldwell.

There is now some news about Caldwell being disendorsed, but it isn't the sort of thing likely to have legs, and at best it hits one event problems. So I can't really see him passing the GNG anytime soon. - Bilby (talk) 12:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nomination. Aside from the notability issues, the article also appears to have been written by someone associated with his political campaign. Nick-D (talk) 02:13, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. As Nick-D said, the article had a clear promotional slant before it was largely blanked and appears to have had some COI issues. Frickeg (talk) 02:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
