- Delete. Candidates for office are not automatically eligible for articles just for being candidates — since he didn't win the election, to be considered notable enough for an article he would have to demonstrate that he was already eligible for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of the candidacy itself (namely, his career in business.) But this cites no reliable sources at all — the only "reference" present in it at all is his own self-published campaign website. Bearcat ( talk) 15:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

- Delete just not seeing any passage of WP:GNG or any other measure here.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 22:47, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as an unelected politician. My personal sentiments are that we should be including all major party candidates for national office, whether they win or not, but consensus is clear that I'm in a small minority on the matter. Carrite ( talk) 16:47, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete failed candidates for congress are not notable for this fact. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:03, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
