This has been in CAT:NN for over 11 years and 2 AfDs with no consensus - hoping this one will put the issue to bed once and for all. Last AfD was 11 years ago, so quite some time. He has some coverage, but I'd say this comes under WP:1E. Boleyn (talk) 11:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looks like slightly bizarre article about slightly bizarre character, not sufficiently notable to justify Wikipedia article. It might be different if his car engine modification had actual been put to use in the industry. PatGallacher (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable politician who has engaged in calculated acts to try to get undue publicity, but it has not panned out to actual attention at the level that would lead to notability. The fact that this article was allowed to pass two AfDs in 2009 just shows how we are still being hamstrung by the failure back then to exercise any discernment in weeding out articles on non-notable subjects.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - run of the mill, both as a politician and an inventor. In 2009, we could have excused this, but in 2020, everybody knows what Wikipedia is, and that's it's not Ballotpedia, nor a resume service, nor a collection of trivia, nor an online web-host for profit, nor an online soap-box. He tried very hard to game the system, but still lost. Bearian (talk) 15:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
