I have serious questions about this individuals' notability. There is nothing about his career as an "industrialist" that meets WP:GNG beyond any reasonable doubt. His political career fails WP:POLITICIAN as a frequent losing candidate. His political party isn't notable; the link redirects to a section on this article. He was the subject of a case tried by the SCOTUS, which might make him notable, but I don't think it's enough. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:06, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now as there seems to be an adequate number of sources on his current prospects, which make significant note of his previous runs. In the event I am overruled, consider redirecting to Davis v. Federal Election Commission and merging some of the more pertinent biographical information into a section on that page. J.

Weak delete based on past outcomes. I am torn on this. A redirect would also be OK. Bearian (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for his role in Davis v. Federal Election Commission which is the only real claim of notability. MLA (talk) 21:16, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete or redirect - Largely unreferenced biographical information. Unnotable for his political and professional career. If being the plaintiff in the court case is his sole claim to fame, there's a 1E issue and he should be redirected to that article. Lara 22:39, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
