Speedy delete. It is pretty clear this person does not pass any notability test for any reason.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:46, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This guy was not just a failed candidate for mayor. He was not even just a minor candidate for mayor. He was a fake candidate put up because the leading candidate was not a long enough term resident of Detroit to be allowed on the ballot, and this guy was put up by the main candidates opponant because his name was similar to the main candidate. This might be worth noting in the article on the election, but it does not make the person notable. It is also a long standing tactic in Michigan elections to run people with names close to your opponent in the primary to muddle the waters.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unsuccessful candidate. Wikipedia is not a database for non-notable unsuccessful candidates. LefcentrerightDiscuss 08:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This especially applies to people who were not even on the ballot. This guy was only a write-in candidate, and only a write-in candidate in the primary. That primary was bizarre because the person who won it was not on the ballot, but that man's name was Mike Duggan. Detroit has a non-partisan mayoral election, with the top two vote getters in the primary appearing on the general election ballot.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, not notable.Ahmetlii (talk) 19:44, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates for mayor of a city, but there are no stronger claims of notability being made here and not nearly enough coverage to get him over the ten year test as somehow more enduringly or nationally significant than the norm for unelected mayoral candidates.
