The subject was the Vice Presidential candidate for the Prohibition Party's 2004 & 2008 US election campaigns! Before you go thinking that this provides some inherent level of notability, be aware that the combined number of votes for Pletten's tickets was under 2600, about 0.001% of the roughly 253 million votes cast in the two elections. More importantly, Pletten does not seem to be the subject of independent coverage from reliable sources[1][2] and, thus, doesn't meet WP:BIO. This WP:BLP, unsourced since June 2008, should be deleted or perhaps redirected to Prohibition Party. — Scientizzle 21:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Prohibition Party#Electoral history where he is already listed. The article could then be easily re-created if reliable sources can be found.--JayJasper (talk) 21:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per Jay above.--William S. Saturn (talk) 21:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
