Non-notable one time third party candidate. I couldn't find anything on him in a brief Google search. NYyankees51 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As an unsuccessful candidate, he fails WP:POLITICIAN and no other claim to notability is made. Cullen328 (talk) 23:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As coments above. Googling reveals nothing except one or two mentions of this failure. How has this one been around since 2005 ! Acabashi (talk) 23:45, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - past outcomes of debates almost always end up deleting losing minor party candidates, and even some losing major ones, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gail Goode. Only in cases where the subject has done something else notable with his life, such as Harry Wilson (businessman), have we kept such articles in recent years. The subject received a tiny proportion of the vote, which makes him non-notable. Our standards have tightened since 2007. Bearian (talk) 02:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
