This individual fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. I believe consensus on individuals such as Pentel has shifted since the first AfD. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As an unsuccessful candidate, he fails WP:POLITICIAN. I agree with Muboshgu's description of the current consensus on such articles. Cullen328 (talk) 19:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Like with the first AfD, notable Green party activist and was a Minnesota governor candidate. Easily passes WP:GNG - Minnesota Public Radio did a major in-depth piece on him here. The Star Tribune also did a piece on him.[1]. --Oakshade (talk) 21:23, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've definitely heard of him before; he's notable. Difluoroethene (talk) 04:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's received significant enough coverage to meet the WP:GNG, even if he doesn't make WP:POLITICIAN. Qrsdogg (talk) 17:41, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
