Non-notable politician/businessperson. Unsuccessful primary candidate for US Congress does not pass NPOL, none of his business ventures have significant coverage or are independently notable. References include two self-published sources, one blog, a link to his candidacy's FEC records, and a dead link to a news article covering his withdrawal from the congressional primary.

Delete non-notable failed candidate who doesn't otherwise pass WP:GNG as a businessperson. SportingFlyer T·C 11:12, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete even winning the primary does not make one notable, but looseing the primary is basically a default sign of being non-notable, unless of course you have an unrelated claim to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:29, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get articles for being unsuccessful candidates in party primaries, but this article does not demonstrate any credible evidence that he has preexisting notability for other reasons independently of the failed candidacy — even his business career is referenced to self-published primary sources and/or blogs, rather than any evidence of reliable source media coverage that would have gotten him over WP:GNG.

Delete per WP:MILL and WP:NPOL. There's no evidence that his business has gotten any notice outside of his local city. Producers are notoriously run of the mill, and AfD is littered with deletions of producer stubs. He didn't even make it to the finish line of the primary 10 years ago.
