Doesn't look like a WP:NPOL or WP:GNG pass here, to me. Losing a state-level legislature campaign doesn't meet WP:NPOL, nor does his PAC work or being a former aide to Pat Buchanan. I may be mistaken, but I don't think being part of the Council for National Policy makes him notable. The two sources are an affiliated source and a short directory listing in a group he is a member of. Only two sentences there, in relation to a PAC he started. This is pretty much just an interview. This is apparently about a different Bob Adams (WP article subject is about a WV politician, source is about a SC politician). In my opinion, the content here more belongs in an article about his PAC, not him, as its more about the PAC. It's a bit borderline, and maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think he's notable.

Delete clearly doesn't meet WP:NPOL. Doesn't appear to meet GNG either; article is largely an unsourced resume. His organization League of American Voters doesn't appear to be notable either. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:29, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOL as failed candidate and political operative. Bkissin (talk) 17:47, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - run of the mill political operative; no notable accomplishments; you win some and lose some. Bearian (talk) 00:21, 20 November 2020 (UTC) P.S. I redirected the PAC that formerly employed him as its only employee, to Dick Morris, because it appears to be Morris's alter ego. See also WP:NOTINHERITED.

Delete Fails WP:NPOL....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:35, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get articles just for being unsuccessful candidates for political office, but nothing else here is either "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him an article, or well-sourced enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL.

Delete however close he came to winning he still lost a state legislative race and that means he is not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
