Minimally sourced (one of the two sources is a raw table of election results and the other is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't otherwise about him) WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning fringe party candidate in federal and provincial elections and as a local radio host heard on a single radio station in a single media market. Neither of these is a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia; WP:NPOL grants notability to officeholders, not candidates, and WP:NMEDIA grants notability to national radio personalities, not local ones. I just did a ProQuest Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies search, further, and found no strong evidence of refimprovability — every single hit he garnered in that database was either a raw table of election results or another glancing namecheck.

Delete Frequent fringe candidate who in many provincial and national elections has never even gotten 1% of the vote (100-200 votes is typical). Nothing to show notability as a politician or anything else.Jakejr (talk) 15:04, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom and above editors. Nothing in searches turned up anything to show this meets WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:32, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
